In Great Britain, more than 100 babies have accepted a very important mission: to eradicate bullying in British classrooms.

         It may seem ludicrous to suggest that tiny, inarticulate, helpless people could effectively fight one of the evils that has plagued educational institutions since their inception -- but the program’s founders believe that the innocence of the babies they work with is a great asset. The strongest crusaders against bullying may in fact be these babies – so the warriors in the fight against bullying are equipped with luvs coupons and binkies!

         The program is called Roots of Empathy, and it employs 150 babies. The babies make visits to classrooms to reduce student aggression, and program director Louise Warde-Hunter says that the babies foster a calm environment.

         ''This raises levels of empathy amongst classmates, resulting in more respectful relationships and a dramatic reduction in levels of aggression among schoolchildren,'' she explained.

         Every month for a year, a parent and their baby would visit elementary school classrooms for a 30-minute session. The children in the classroom were encouraged to play with the baby and in doing so they learned nurturing skills. Roots of Empathy began in 1996 to improve children’s social skills and emotional literacy – and it has expanded its reach to improve the lives of kids across the UK.

         If the plan continues to be successful, it may be expanded to reach more schools in more locations. Apparently, all you need to fight bullying are luvs coupons – an a baby to put in those diapers, of course.
