Roots of Empathy - Theme 2
Theme 2 - Crying
Like everybody, babies all react in different ways to different people and things.
Crying babies are not bad babies.
They are babies with a problem and need our help.
Different ways of holding a baby to soothe it.
It is normal to feel frustrated and desperate when a baby cries a lot but remember, NEVER, EVER, SHAKE A BABY!
Mrs Elliott read this story
Baby Louise won't stop crying, what does she want?
A drink
a lullaby
a hug
but Louise wants something else and only her big brother knows what that is.....
The children then drew pictures of why a baby would cry..
Baby Daniel's 2nd Visit
Singing our welcome song to baby Daniel
when Daniel is upset and crying. Kate said that she uses different ways to soothe Daniel.
- Singing
- Rocking on her knee
- Cuddling
The children asked can baby Daniel roll over when he was on the green blanket?
The answer was, 'Not yet!'
