Childcare Connection Trust Develops Innovative Method for Teaching Children Empathy
The Children Massaging Children (CMC) programme has been developed in
New Zealand by the Childcare Connection Trust, a registered charity.
Most people would react with surprise or disbelief at the concept of
empathy being taught in schools; however, this idea is more than mere
wishful thinking. The idea of teaching children empathy has been the
subject of extensive research in New Zealand and also the focus of at
least two Master's degree theses in Poland.
Child Connection Child Connection is a registered charity that aims to introduce Children Massaging Children(CMC) program into the education and health systems in order to reduce stress, decrease depression and violence and prevent social pathologies. We stand for the fundamental right of all children to feel closeness and belonging - an essential and basic factor for their life, health and well-being. Our programmes teach Peace and Empathy in the purest way.
