Teaching children how small acts of emotional support can make a big difference in the lives of others.

In this episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison, children explore the importance of helping others through kindness, empathy, and emotional support. Miss Harrison guides young listeners to notice when someone might need a helping hand, even if they don’t ask for it.

Through the story of Jake and Mia, children discover how paying attention, offering encouragement, and taking small actions can make someone’s day better—and make us feel happier too.

What Children Will Learn:

  • How to notice when someone is struggling emotionally or physically
  • Why offering help, even in small ways, makes a big difference
  • The value of being a kind, supportive friend and classmate
  • How helping others builds stronger communities and emotional wellbeing

Miss Harrison’s Top Tips:

  1. Look Around – Pay attention to who might need a little help or comfort.
  2. Offer Kindness – A kind word, smile, or simple offer can make a huge difference.
  3. Listen Well – Sometimes, just being there and listening is the best support.
  4. Act Without Being Asked – Don’t wait—if you see someone in need, step in gently and respectfully.

Mindful Moment Challenge:

This week, try to do one act of kindness each day. Help a friend carry something, offer to include someone, or simply smile at a classmate who looks like they need it. Notice how helping others makes you feel.

Perfect for:

  • Children developing emotional intelligence and empathy
  • Schools focusing on kindness, inclusion, and peer support
  • PSHE and SEL lesson integration
  • Families teaching care, compassion, and connection at home

Quote of the Week:
“Helping someone doesn’t have to be big. Even a small kindness can change someone’s day.”
