Without this, children suffer - and we are witnessing this all over the world: Children carrying (and using) arms, the lack of empathy in the eyes of a child whose innocence has been stripped by war...or bringing it closer to home, a chid's inherent compassion destroyed by the humiliation brought on by others. There is a cycle of abuse, violence and agression that can be halted. How a child is cared for influences how a child will care for himslef and others.  Baby massage is a simple, no-technology-required way to foster the love, empathy and compassion our children are born to share.
