The Babies Teaching Kindness In Class [REPEAT]
from People Fixing the World · host BBC World Service
**This episode is a repeat from 23 January 2018**Naomi is not your average teacher. For one thing, she is only six months old. But in many schools across Canada babies like Naomi are a regular feature at the front of class. It is because of an education programme called Roots of Empathy, which is designed to encourage kids to be kinder. The idea is that because a baby cannot explain and externalise how it is feeling, children learn to recognise and identify the baby’s emotions, and become more emotionally astute themselves. It has been proven to reduce bullying. People Fixing the World visits a school in Toronto to see how it works.Reporter: Harriet Noble Presenter: Tom CollsPhoto Caption: Baby Naomi Photo Credit: BBC
