I've long recommended the Roots of Empathy program in my own work
with parents, children, and educators, which, like Mary Gordon's
program, is focused on teaching children how to do the right thing.
Roots of Empathy is an essential book for every one of us invested
in cultivating greater empathy in children--whether at home or in
the classroom.--Michele Borba, EdD, author of Building Moral
Intelligence and Parents Do Make a Difference
In this engaging book, Gordon describes how her program has helped
reduce incidences of aggression and bullying . . . This 'emotional
literacy' allows Roots of Empathy to educate, as Gordon puts it,
'both the mind and the heart.'-- "Ode"
