In this warm and encouraging episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison, children explore how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in the emotional lives of others. Through the gentle story of Jake and Mia, pupils learn how to notice when someone is struggling—even if they don’t ask for help—and how offering support builds stronger relationships and boosts wellbeing for both the helper and the person being helped.

This episode helps children build empathy, awareness, and emotional responsibility as they discover the joy of being a helping hand in their classroom and beyond.
