Roots of Empathy – Baby Love

I greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from a CBC news segment last night (a rerun) about Roots of Empathy, a program that brings babies into kids (grade 6 in one case) classrooms. This seemingly simple program is having great success at helping kids become less aggressive to each other, less bullying, more sensitive to other people’s feelings, and their own.

Here is a link to CBC 10 minutes long video report on the story. I highly recommend it!

And there are a few short YouTube home video clips – Maddie at school, Roots Farewell.
