Mindfulness and meditation are often used interchangeably but are not the same. [ 92 more words ] https://abcbookseries.wordpress.com//mindfulness-vs-medit/

In my book, ABCs for Daddy, E is for Empathy and K is for Kindness, two things we should continue to foster. Roots of Empathy is a new curriculum in a Washington, DC school that teaches empathy and kindness through interactions with a baby. The baby has a scheduled visit every three weeks in the classroom.
