They followed the baby and the development throughout the year. I believe that cultivating empathy in youth is the best way to overcome so many of the challenges in society today and I'm very glad my daughter's class participated (this was in Canada about 5 years ago or so). It's something I normally do with my kids all the time, but there are plenty of kids who are never shown empathy and so never learn to feel it, which is why the program is such a great idea.
