Changing the World Child by Child
Mary Gordon

WATCH VIDEO ABOUT ROOTS OF EMPATHY

A group of children circle around a mother and her baby who have come to visit their classroom for the Roots of Empathy hour—an experiential time that is part of their curriculum. The mother shares how her baby is growing, placing emphasis on her own feelings and the emotional life of her child. The children are encouraged to voice their thoughts and feelings too.

They are learning emotional literacy, a capacity rarely focused upon in the classroom, and they are strengthening their innate capacity to be empathetic toward themselves and others. The baby, naturally and easily empathetic, leads the way.

Mary Gordon's remarkable, revolutionary program to develop empathy and social and emotional literacy has reached over 270,000 children worldwide. She explores how such experiential-based learning can be a potent and direct antidote for the aggression, antisocial behavior, and bullying that is so prevalent in schools today. She tells remarkable stories about babies naturally smiling at the most unhappy child in the room to draw them out, and troubled children finding healing and connection through the Roots of Empathy interactions.

Her findings prove that human beings are really intrinsically kind, if allowed and guided to be, and that such skills develop early in life if allowed to flourish and grow. This is a very inspiring book for parents and teachers alike, unique and vitally important for us all.
