In this uplifting episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison, children reflect on the joy and importance of friendship. After learning how to be a good friend, listen, share, handle arguments, and make new connections, this episode is all about celebrating the friendships we already have.

Through the story of Ella, Liam, and Zara, children discover how small, thoughtful actions—like sharing kind words, giving a handmade gift, or planning a friendship picnic—can show appreciation and strengthen bonds.

This episode encourages children to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for the friends who bring laughter, comfort, and care into their lives.

What children will learn in this episode:

• Why celebrating friendship helps relationships grow stronger
• Simple and meaningful ways to show appreciation to friends
• How kindness and gratitude build connection and trust
• That friendship isn’t just about play—it’s about care, support, and joy

Friendship Skills from Miss Harrison:

• Say thank you: A few kind words can go a long way in making someone feel valued
• Create happy moments: Playing a game, telling stories, or sharing laughs builds deeper connection
• Give from the heart: Small gestures like a drawing, a bracelet, or a kind note show care and appreciation

Mindful Moment Challenge:

Choose one friend this week to celebrate. Tell them what you appreciate about them or do something kind just for them—like writing a note, making a small gift, or simply saying, “Thank you for being my friend.”

Notice how celebrating someone else makes you feel, too.

Perfect for:

• Primary school-aged children exploring social and emotional development
• Teachers and support staff delivering PSHE or SEL lessons about friendship and wellbeing
• Parents and carers nurturing kindness and gratitude at home
• School counsellors and pastoral teams supporting emotional literacy and peer connection
