Empathy is shown by understanding the feelings of children. In addition, things that support foster children receiving messages about their identity are based on a strong understanding of religion by the orphanage manager to foster children in their daily lives. A positive attitude involves advising foster children to continually strive for good. Equality, demonstrated by the orphanage management, is demonstrated by not discriminating against the foster children's backgrounds. In practice, interpersonal communication is fostered by the orphanage management, who maintains an emotional closeness with the foster children.
