Roots of Empathy

Roots of Empathy is an educational program aimed at fostering emotional understanding and empathy among children. It involves bringing infants and their parents into classrooms, where children observe the interactions between the baby and the parent. This experience helps students recognize and understand emotions, develop compassion, and improve social skills. By nurturing empathy early on, the program seeks to reduce bullying and increase kindness in schools, ultimately promoting a more compassionate society. The approach highlights the importance of emotional connections in learning and social development for young people.
