Babies in Cardiff school classes to help pupil behaviour

Babies are being brought into primary schools in Cardiff to help improve pupils' empathy levels and help reduce any aggression.

The scheme, pioneered in Canada, encourages children to interact in a nurturing manner after observing a parent and baby in the classroom.

Reports suggest children who have taken part are more likely to help others, share, and accept peers as they are.

The programme is being run by the charity Action for Children (AfC) in a number of schools with hopes to roll it out across Wales.

BBC Radio Wales reporter Charlotte Dubenskij has been along to one Cardiff primary school which is taking part to find out how it helps.
