Attention families in #Terrace, #BritishColumbia. Will you have a baby aged 2-4 months in October?

Your family could make a lasting difference in the lives of children in your community!

Roots of Empathy (ROE) is centred around your baby becoming the ‘Tiny Teacher’ in a classroom. Volunteer Parents bring their babies into a classroom 9 times over the school year, and guided by a Roots of Empathy Instructor, the children are encouraged to read your baby’s emotional cues and take your baby’s perspective, which can lead to the development of prosocial skills such as empathy and inclusion.

@GeorgeHeyman Hi George, I am very sad to hear that you’re not going to run again. I really appreciated your tenure in the legislature with your integrity and beliefs. Look forward to hearing what you’re going to do next.

During our visit to @GDSHoppers in #Washington #DC, we discovered a student who was once a Roots of Empathy baby herself at Beauvoir School!

It's heartwarming to see the program come full circle, nurturing empathy from generation to generation. #Baby #Empathy @beauvoir_bear 🌱

We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact Roots of Empathy is having in classrooms!
It's truly inspiring to see how students have embraced the themes, putting their learning into action through acts of sharing, kindness, and self-expression. Creating a supportive and inclusive environment is at the core of what we aim to achieve 💚

“One morning, my mother prepared breakfast after a late night's work. My father offered to fix it but she said she wanted to.

She put a plate of eggs and burnt toast in front of my father.

I immediately noticed, the burnt toast, and I was waiting to see if he was going to complain about it. Instead, my father started to eat them. Smiling, he asked me how I spent my day at school.

My mom apologized to my dad for the burnt toast. I will never forget his response to her:

"Honey, I love burnt toast!"

Later when I went to bed and my dad came over to kiss me goodnight, I asked him if he really liked the burnt toast?

He hugged me and said, "Your mother has had a difficult day and she is really tired. She went out of her way to prepare this meal for us, why blame her and hurt her. Burnt toast never hurt anyone; but words can be very painful!””

We have to know how to appreciate what others do for us, even if it's not perfect, because it's the intention to do well that counts, and no one is perfect.

Roots of Empathy classrooms help students find the courage to stand up against cruelty. Racism is very prevalent and needs to be challenged wherever it lands.

The only way to break cycles of racism and exclusion is to start with children. #EmpathyMatters
