In this episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison, children explore how to take small, brave steps towards making new friends. Making new connections can feel exciting—but also a little bit nerve-wracking. With simple strategies and supportive stories, children build the confidence they need to start new friendships with kindness and courage.
Through the story of Bella, who moves to a new town and finds the courage to say hello at lunchtime, children learn that even the smallest actions—like smiling, making eye contact, or asking a question—can open the door to new and meaningful friendships.
What children will learn in this episode:
- Why making new friends helps us feel included and supported
- How to overcome nervousness when meeting someone new
- Simple conversation starters for playgrounds, classrooms, and clubs
- The power of kindness, curiosity, and a brave “hello”
Friendship Skills from Miss Harrison:
- Smile and make eye contact – It shows you’re open and friendly.
- Say hello – Simple greetings build bridges.
- Ask a question – Find something in common to talk about.
- Be brave – It’s normal to feel shy. Starting a friendship is a courageous act.
These actions help children feel more connected, included, and confident in new situations.
Mindful Moment Challenge:
This week, try saying hello to someone new—at school, at a club, or in your neighbourhood. Notice how it feels to reach out. A simple smile or question could be the start of a brand-new friendship.
Perfect for:
- Primary school-aged children developing social confidence
