Touch, such as touching the baby's feet is so important in building empathy and emotional connections 💚🌱

When children engage in gentle and respectful touch, it creates a physical and emotional bond. This tactile experience nurtures a sense of trust and comfort, promoting a deeper understanding of one another's feelings and needs.

When the Roots of Empathy Baby takes the lead in a measurement lesson 💚👶 A sweet moment in this #Calgary, #Alberta classroom shows the joy of learning with Roots of Empathy. When the Baby decides to measure himself, the lesson becomes a memorable experience for everyone!

“In Roots of Empathy, we measure what we treasure” - Mary Gordon President/Founder

Children chart the Baby’s growth, both weight and height as well as all the other social and cognitive milestones.

Touch, such as touching the baby's feet is so important in building empathy and emotional connections.

“Touch talks. Touch tells you anything a person needs to know and all you need to know in life is that you are loved, you are safe, and you are brave.” - @MaryGordonROE

Few people have witnessed the breadth of human suffering and sacrifice as Dr. James Orbinski, one of our greatest humanitarians.

Recognizing the parent-infant relationship as a powerful model for empathy development, @MaryGordonROE developed Roots of Empathy in 1996.

Over the years, ROE has focused on helping children develop empathy to combat aggression and cruelty. We have seen over the past 27 years that empathic children demand social justice and stand up to challenging behaviour such as #bullying, #racism, #sexism and #exclusion.

Empathic children fly all the flags and embody the civil society we are trying to build. #EmpathyMatters

Did you know that the foundation of a child's literacy skills begins in the early years? But just as it is important to learn to read, it is vital for children to learn to relate. Emotional literacy plays a vital role in a child's development, setting the foundation for lifelong learning and growth!

🌱📚 Share your thoughts: How do you believe emotional literacy can positively impact a child's life? #EmotionalLiteracy #EmpathyMatters
