I thank all of our guests for attending. I am very interested in what Ms Connolly said in her statement. I am especially curious about the roots of empathy programme and the friendship group. Empathy is even difficult for some adults to have, so it must be very challenging for it to be taught to children. Even in advance of children going to school, what can parents do to try to ensure children are more empathetic or more conscious of and sensitive to the needs of others?
