In this beautifully crafted six-part series, Miss Harrison supports primary-aged children as they learn how to build, maintain and celebrate meaningful friendships. Each episode offers storytelling, reflective practice, and actionable challenges to support children’s social and emotional development at school and at home.

Episode 1: What Makes a Good Friend?

Theme: Understanding the qualities of a good friend

In this episode, children discover the building blocks of healthy friendships—kindness, fairness, honesty, and support. Through the story of Ava and Mia, we see how being a good friend means showing up, listening, and being kind.

Episode 2: Listening Like a Friend

Children learn how listening helps us connect, show respect, and understand others better. Jacob and Leila’s story highlights the difference between half-listening and full, mindful attention.

Episode 3: Sharing and Taking Turns

Through the story of Daniel and his game cards, children learn that taking turns isn’t always easy—but it keeps play fair and fun. Sharing strengthens friendships and builds emotional intelligence.

Even good friends have disagreements. This episode teaches children how to manage conflict by staying calm, listening, and finding fair solutions—just like Hannah and Tom when their fort-building plans went wrong.

Episode 5: Making New Friends

Theme: Confidence and kindness when meeting new people

Making new friends can feel exciting—and a bit scary! Through the story of Safiya, children learn how small acts of kindness and bravery can create new connections and grow their friendship circle.
