Naomi isn鈥檛 your average teacher. For one thing, she鈥檚 only 6 months old. But in many schools across Canada babies like Naomi are a regular feature at the front of class. It鈥檚 because of an education programme called Roots of Empathy, which is designed to encourage kids to be kinder.

It鈥檚 been proven to reduce bullying. World Hacks visits a school in Toronto to see how it works.
