    S18 E5 When We Don’t Understand Someone – Respecting Differences and Responding with Kindness
    11 Nov 2026
    Follow Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison to hear every new episode. Teacher and pupil resources are coming soon for every episode.When We Don’t Understand Someone – Respecting Differences and Responding with KindnessHelping children understand that they can treat someone with patience, curiosity and respect even when they do not fully understand that person’s feelings, needs or experiences.In this fifth episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Seeing Through Other Eyes series, children explore an important idea:We do not have to understand everything about somebody to respect them.In the previous episode, children practised listening to understand.They learned to stop, listen and check.To give someone their attention.To notice feelings as well as facts.And to ask questions instead of assuming they already knew what the person meant.But sometimes, even when we listen carefully, we still find ourselves thinking:“I just don’t understand.”This episode explores what we can do in those moments.Perhaps a friend loves being the centre of attention, while you prefer to stay quietly in the background.Perhaps somebody becomes upset about something that would not bother you.Perhaps another person needs more time.More space.Or more help with something that feels easy to you.Our first thought might be:“But why?”Wanting to understand is a good thing.But we will not always have all the answers.People have different experiences.Different personalities.Different feelings.Different needs.We can respect those differences while we are still learning about them.Through the story of Sophie and Ravi, children discover what this can look like in everyday life.Sophie loves lunchtime.She enjoys the busy dining hall.Chatting with friends.Hearing everyone laughing around her.But her classmate Ravi experiences it differently.When they enter the hall, he often becomes quiet.Sometimes he covers his ears.Whenever possible, he chooses a seat near the edge of the room.One day, Sophie asks:“Why do you always sit over here?”“It’s much more fun in the middle.”Ravi shrugs.“I just don’t like it there.”Sophie does not understand.“It’s only noise,” she thinks.The next day, the fire alarm is tested.The sudden, piercing sound makes Sophie jump.For a few seconds, it feels as though the noise fills her whole head.Later, she thinks about Ravi.She does not know whether the dining hall feels anything like that to him.She still cannot know exactly what his experience is like.But she realises something important:She does not need to experience the noise exactly as Ravi does to believe that he finds it uncomfortable.At lunchtime, Sophie sits beside him near the edge of the hall.“You don’t have to sit here,” Ravi says.“I know,” Sophie replies.“I just thought I’d join you today.”Sophie still does not completely understand Ravi’s experience.But she can respect his choice of seat.She can believe what he tells her.And she can spend time with him in the place he prefers.The story reminds children that understanding is not always the first step.Sometimes, believing and respecting someone comes first.The episode introduces three ways to respond thoughtfully when someone’s experience is different from our own.Accept that people experience things differently.Something that feels easy to you might feel difficult to somebody else.Something you enjoy might feel uncomfortable for another person.We do not have to compare our experiences before taking theirs seriously.Ask kindly.When it is appropriate, we can invite someone to tell us more.But an invitation to explain should leave room for them to choose.People do not always have to explain themselves to us.Respect what they tell you.When someone describes a feeling or a need, we can listen and respond respectfully.We do not have to feel exactly the same way first.Through a reflection activity, children practise changing a thought that can lead to a quick judgement.They begin with:“That doesn’t make sense.”Then they try:“That doesn’t make sense to me yet.”This change reminds them that their own understanding is only one viewpoint.Next, they ask:“I wonder what this is like for them.”Finally, they remind themselves:“I don’t have to experience it myself to respect how they feel.”Sometimes, staying curious helps us understand more.Sometimes, we still do not fully understand.We can continue to respond with respect in either situation.The episode helps children recognise that somebody else’s experience does not need to match their own to matter.What children will learn in this episode:Why people can experience the same environment or situation differentlyHow feelings, experiences, personalities and needs can shape someone’s responseWhy careful listening does not always lead to complete understandingHow to respond respectfully when another person’s experience feels unfamiliarWhy people do not always have to explain or prove how ...

  • S18 E4 Listening to Understand – Making Space for Feelings and Helping Others Feel Heard

    S18 E4 Listening to Understand – Making Space for Feelings and Helping Others Feel Heard
    9 Nov 2026
    Follow Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison to hear every new episode. Teacher and pupil resources are coming soon for every episode.Listening to Understand – Making Space for Feelings and Helping Others Feel HeardHelping children discover how slowing down, paying attention and checking what they have heard can help them understand another person’s experience and respond with care.In this fourth episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Seeing Through Other Eyes series, children explore an important idea:Listening means more than waiting for our turn to speak.In the previous episode, children discovered that what someone shows on the outside does not always tell us everything about what they are experiencing inside.Now, they explore how listening can help them understand more of that story.The episode begins with a familiar situation.A friend is telling you about something that happened.While they are speaking, you are already thinking:“I know exactly what they should do.”Or perhaps you are waiting for a gap so you can tell them about something similar that happened to you.You can hear their words.But how much are you discovering about their experience?Listening to understand means putting our own thoughts to one side for a moment.Giving the other person our attention.Becoming curious about what matters to them.Instead of thinking:“What am I going to say next?”We begin to ask:“What are they trying to tell me?”Through the story of Ava and Zane, children discover why this difference matters.Ava finds her friend Zane sitting quietly after lunch.“We lost our football match,” he tells her.Ava immediately tries to cheer him up.“Oh, don’t worry.”“It’s only a game.”“You’ll win next time.”Then she tells him about the matches her own team lost the previous year.“You just have to forget about it.”But Zane becomes even quieter.Later, Ava wonders why her attempt to help did not seem to work.She goes back to speak to him.“Are you still upset about losing?”Zane shakes his head.“Not really.”Ava is confused.Then Zane explains.He missed the last penalty.Everyone had worked really hard.And he feels as though he let them down.Suddenly, Ava understands more.She had heard:“We lost.”And assumed she knew what was troubling him.But for Zane, the difficult part was the feeling that he had disappointed his team.This time, Ava slows down.“That must have felt awful,” she says.Zane nods.“I keep thinking about it.”Ava listens while he explains.She gives him time.She lets him finish.She stays with his experience instead of immediately moving the conversation to her own.Afterwards, Zane smiles.“Thanks.”The match result has not changed.But Zane feels understood.Ava has discovered that listening can help us understand what someone needs before we decide how to respond.Sometimes, having someone stay and listen makes a difference.The episode introduces children to three practical steps:Stop.Give the person your attention.If you can, pause what you are doing.Allow them time to finish before you respond.Listen.Notice feelings as well as facts.Ask yourself:“What seems important to this person?”Check.Remember that we might not have understood correctly.We can ask a question and give the other person a chance to explain.Checking helps us move beyond our first assumption.Through familiar examples, children practise responses that make room for someone to say more.Imagine somebody says:“I don’t want to go to the party.”You could ask:“How are you feeling about it?”Their answer may help you understand something you did not know.Now imagine somebody says:“School was rubbish today.”You might respond:“Do you want to tell me what happened?”Then give them time to explain.Children also practise a useful sentence for checking their understanding:“So, are you saying that…?”They can put what they think they have heard into their own words.Then listen carefully to the answer.Perhaps they have understood.Perhaps there is something they have missed.Either way, they are giving the other person an opportunity to help them understand more clearly.The episode reminds children that a thoughtful conversation does not always need a quick answer.Sometimes it needs attention.Time.Curiosity.And someone willing to listen.What children will learn in this episode:The difference between hearing someone’s words and listening to understandHow planning our next comment can distract us from what someone is sayingWhy feelings can be just as important as the facts of a situationHow giving someone time to finish can help us understand their experienceWhy our first understanding of a problem may be incompleteHow thoughtful questions help us check what someone meansHow to use Stop, Listen, Check in everyday conversationsEmotional Skills from Miss Harrison:Stop and give your attentionWhen someone wants to tell you something, pause what you are doing if you can.Give them time to ...

  • S18 E3 Looking Beyond What We See – Feelings, First Impressions and Responding with Kindness

    S18 E3 Looking Beyond What We See – Feelings, First Impressions and Responding with Kindness
    7 Nov 2026
    Follow Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison to hear every new episode. Teacher and pupil resources are coming soon for every episode.Looking Beyond What We See – Feelings, First Impressions and Responding with KindnessHelping children understand that what we notice on the outside does not always tell us what someone is experiencing on the inside, and that curiosity and kindness can help us respond with greater understanding.In this third episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Seeing Through Other Eyes series, children explore an important idea:What we can see is not always the whole story.In the previous episode, children practised walking in someone else’s shoes.They learned to pause, imagine and ask what a situation might look like from another person’s point of view.Now, they explore the difference between noticing what somebody does and deciding what it means.The episode begins with a familiar situation.Someone in your class is unusually quiet.What might you think?Perhaps they are tired.Perhaps they are upset.Perhaps they simply do not feel like talking.The truth is:We do not know.We can notice someone’s actions without knowing everything that is happening inside them.Someone who is laughing might still be worried about something.Someone who seems cross might be feeling disappointed.Someone who does not join in might feel nervous.Our first impression gives us only part of the picture.The episode introduces the image of a book.We can see its cover.But the cover does not tell us the whole story.People can be like that too.Through the story of Ellie and Tariq, children discover how quickly we can turn something we notice into an assumption about someone.Tariq is new to Ellie’s class.He does not say very much.When children invite him to play, he often shakes his head.During group work, he rarely offers an idea.After a few days, Ellie tells her friend:“I don’t think Tariq likes anybody.”Her friend asks why.“He never talks to us.”Ellie has noticed that Tariq is quiet.But she has also decided what his quietness means.Later that afternoon, Ellie and Tariq are paired together for an activity.At first, Tariq hardly speaks.Then Ellie notices the detailed picture he is drawing.“That’s amazing,” she says.“Do you like drawing?”Tariq smiles.“A lot.”Slowly, they begin to talk.Tariq explains that he feels nervous in his new school.He wants to make friends.But sometimes he cannot think of what to say quickly enough.Ellie is surprised.She had thought his quietness meant he was not interested in other people.Now, because Tariq has told her, she understands more about how he feels.The next day, Ellie gives him a gentle invitation.“We’re drawing at lunchtime. If you want to come.”She does not pressure him to talk.She gives him a way to join through something he enjoys.Tariq smiles.“OK.”Ellie has learned that noticing someone’s behaviour and understanding their experience are different things.She can be curious.She can be welcoming.And she can give another person time and space.The episode introduces children to three ways of looking beyond their first impressions.Notice without deciding.“He’s very quiet today” describes something we have observed.“He’s being unfriendly” adds a guess about why.Learning to recognise that difference helps us pause before making a judgement.Remember there might be more.Other people may have feelings, experiences or worries that we cannot see.When someone’s behaviour surprises us, we can wonder what else might be happening.Respond with curiosity and kindness.We do not need to investigate everybody’s feelings.Sometimes a gentle question or an invitation is enough.We can offer kindness while giving the other person space to answer—or not.Through the See, Think, Wonder activity, children practise separating what they notice from the meaning they give it.They imagine someone putting their head down during a lesson.See.What can they actually observe?“Their head is down.”Think.What explanation might come into their mind?“Perhaps they don’t want to work.”Wonder.How could they turn that explanation into a question?“I wonder what might be happening for them.”Perhaps the person is tired.Confused.Upset.Or simply thinking.These are possibilities.We still do not know.And recognising that uncertainty can help us respond more thoughtfully.The episode leaves children with a simple reminder:Sometimes wondering is wiser than deciding.What children will learn in this episode:Why someone’s actions do not always reveal everything they are feelingHow first impressions can leave out important parts of a person’s experienceThe difference between observing behaviour and guessing what it meansWhy quietness or choosing not to join in can have different explanationsHow to use See, Think, Wonder to explore their assumptionsHow curiosity and kindness can help them respond with greater understandingWhy people should have space to ...
