COURSE CATEGORY Behaviour and Relationships Autism and Communication Meeting emotional needs DESCRIPTION This radical way of building empathy is inspired by the work of the ‘Roots of Empathy’ organisation in Canada. As Mary Gordon founder of this way of working describes: > ‘By regular visits to the classroom of local mums and their children build an > empathic relationship with the baby. > > MARY GORDON Roots of Empathy (ROE) is dedicated to building caring and peaceful societies through the development of empathy in children. It is a parenting education program for elementary school students (between the ages of 3 to 14 years) based on monthly visits to the classroom by a parent and infant from the school neighbourhood. We teach teachers and educators to help children to observe, over the school year, how their baby forms an attachment to his or her parent. Children are encouraged to record how the infants develop. The children learn to spot their babies cues and unique temperament, while celebrating developmental milestones. Children are prepared for responsible and responsive parenting as they increase their knowledge about human development, learning, and infant safety. The baby project program brings about the development of empathy and emotional literacy: 1. As children learn to take the perspective of others they are less likely to hurt through bullying, exclusion, aggression, and violence. 2. Children learn how to challenge cruelty and injustice in their own classroom. 3. Messages of social inclusion and activities that are consensus-building contribute to a culture of caring that changes the tone of the classroom. 4. Involving fathers and men provides rich models of male nurturance TESTIMONIALS > ‘13% increase in empathy scores for our year 1s’ > ‘Years 2s empathy had increased by 35%’ > ‘Now that I am older I can be happy for other people’ (6 year old) > ‘Everyone is special – thats the truth – but when I was small I thought its > not fair when someone got a present and I didn’t’ (7 year old) > Dramatic improvements in children taking responsibility for actions and being > less defiant over the year of the project.

Our one-day workshop aims to provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based knowledge to develop their theoretical and practical understanding of the importance of early communication between parents and infants. We also consider how to support parents’ bond with their babies when suffering with poor mental health. We explore how early experiences impact the child/parent relationship and how this influences brain development and the trajectory of infant mental health. We examine different types of crying and recognise the emotional impact this has on both the baby and carer and how participants can support parents in reading their baby’s behaviour and regulating their states. The workshop will also look at babies’ rapidly evolving sleep patterns and sleep cues and how staff can offer anticipatory advice to parents to encourage early good sleep habits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP AIMS * To provide community staff with up-to-date evidence-based knowledge to develop an understanding of infant mental health, brain development and the importance of how early experiences impact on child/adult relationships. * For professionals to develop an understanding of what babies are trying to say; to enable them to support parents in gaining confidence with tuning into and regulating their babies. * To understand the evolving sleep patterns of babies up to a year old and how parents can support their baby to encourage early good sleep habits.
