In this heartfelt episode, Miss Harrison helps children explore one of the most powerful friendship skills of all—listening. Whether someone is sharing exciting news or a tricky feeling, listening with full attention shows we care.
Through a story about a boy named Noah who learns to slow down and truly listen using a talking stick, children discover how mindful listening builds stronger, more meaningful friendships.
What Children Will Learn:
- The difference between hearing and listening
- How to use their ears, eyes, and heart to be a great listener
- Why good listeners make others feel safe, understood, and valued
- Practical listening strategies to use every day
Miss Harrison’s Friendship Tips:
- Listen with your ears: Focus on what your friend is saying.
- Listen with your eyes: Look at your friend to show you’re present.
- Listen with your heart: Try to understand how your friend is feeling.
Story Highlight: Noah and the Talking Stick
Noah loved telling stories but didn’t always remember to listen. When his teacher introduced the “talking stick,” Noah learned to pause, stay quiet, and really focus on what others had to say. He discovered that listening helps friendships grow stronger—just like sunshine helps a garden bloom.
Mindful Moment Challenge:
This week, when someone talks to you—stop, focus, and listen like a friend. Use your ears, eyes, and heart. Then notice how it makes both of you feel.
Perfect For:
- Primary school-aged children (ages 5–11)
- Teachers delivering PSHE or friendship lessons
- Parents and carers building emotional literacy at home
- Counsellors and wellbeing leads teaching social-emotional learning (SEL)
