The Coleraine Times in Northern Ireland celebrates Roots of Empathy programs in East Antrim:
Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom programme that has shown significant effect in reducing levels of aggression and bullying among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy.
The innovative scheme involves bringing an infant and parent into a classroom once a month throughout the school year giving students the opportunity to track the infant’s milestones.
