Did you see the article in The Wall Street Journal on February 5 on Learn by Cooing: Empathy Lessons From Little Tykes?
In Canada, New Zealand, Australia and now the US there are more than 2000 babies brought in to teach Emotional Literacy. It is part of a wave of programs in schools to help children recognize and talk about their feelings rather than act them out aggressively.
Not everyone is happy with these programs. They feel they are stealing time from academics.
Interesting. What do you think?
