Immediately upon birth, from day 1 of age, babies begin to reflect the emotional states of people around them thanks to mirror neurons.

Children that feel safe, secure and loved grow to be more sensitive and empathetic to others’ emotional needs. Let’s model kindness and empathy from day 1. – Ameeta
