It's #NationalChildDay and #WorldChildrensDay.

Today, and every day, we affirm the rights of #children and raise their voices. Let's re-imagine the world we want to create. What do children need? We asked them and they told us.

"For 25 years now I have seen the lights go on for children in Roots of Empathy classes as we give them a working model of loving and responsive parenting and an opportunity to interact with an infant in the first year of life." - @MaryGordonROE #Empathy

Today is #BellLetsTalkDay! Conversations around #Mentalhealth are important, especially in childhood. ROE creates a safe space for #children to learn and talk about their feelings. We help them not only cope, but thrive. #MentalHealthMatters @Bell_LetsTalk

[Roots of Empathy @RootsofEmpathy]

ROE teaches the world all about feelings. Understanding and managing emotions is important for the development & #mentalhealth of children. Recognizing and naming emotions helps children understand emotions. This lays the groundwork for managing emotions. @Bell_LetsTalk

[Roots of Empathy @RootsofEmpathy]

ROE was created by @MaryGordonROE in 1996, centered around a novel concept of having a baby as the “teacher” in a classroom. An Instructor guides the discussion, encouraging the #children to read the baby’s emotional cues & take the baby’s perspective.
