This scientific view of how we are soft-wired to feel empathy and seek to belong is amazing!

This animated video is a fascinating view on human development and something that seems to be the opposite of original sin, or what the creator calls “an empathic embrace” with members of our human family.

The Empathic Civilisation

Our program at Riviera PlaySchool is centered around helping young children develop empathy.  We offer a humanistic, constructivist, and mindful preschool program for the “whole child,” inspired by the best of Attachment Parenting, Bev Bos, Montessori, Waldorf, and Compassionate or Non-violent Communication (NVC). 

Lots of Love,

Linda
