Children learn to identify and reflect on their own feelings

A baby celebration was held at Citywest & Saggart Community National School to celebrate the close of the 15th year of Barnardos’ Roots of Empathy programme.

Barnardos has been delivering the programme since 2011, and it involves babies being brought into national school to help schoolkids better understand their own emotion through the help of the very young ‘teacher’ across the school year.
