Roots of Empathy - Theme 2 Crying

5th Nov 2025

Primary 3 pupils enjoyed welcoming baby Oisin and Helen back into the classroom today. It was wonderful to see baby Oisin again. We noticed he was trying very hard to grab onto some toys. We asked Helen some questions to find out why Oisin cries and what techniques she uses to calm him.

The aim of this theme is to help the children understand that a baby cries to let us know they have a problem. When a baby cries they may be hungry, tired or need their nappy changed. We can’t wait to see Oisin and Helen again at the end of the month.
