  Complete Series 12: Mindfulness for Everyday Life

  Sep 1, 202632 minS12

  Helping children discover that mindfulness does not need to be something separate from everyday life—it can be practised in the small moments that are already part of every day. In Series 12 of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison , children explore how mindfulness can become part of ordinary routines: waking up, eating, walking, learning at school, preparing for sleep and moving through a busy day. Across six calm and practical episodes, Miss Harrison shows children that being mindful is not about being perfectly calm or clearing every thought from their minds. It is about noticing, pausing and gently bringing attention back to the present moment. The series begins with Mindful Mornings, where children learn how a few moments of stretching, breathing and checking in with themselves can create a calmer beginning to the day. Ezra's story demonstrates how even a two-minute pause can help a rushed morning feel more settled and intentional. In Mindful Eating, children slow things down and explore food through their senses. Through Leo's lunchtime experience, they discover how noticing colours, smells, textures and tastes can transform an everyday meal into an opportunity to practise attention and presence. Mindful Walking takes mindfulness into movement. Children learn to notice their footsteps, surroundings and senses while allowing thoughts to come and go without needing to follow them. Eli's mindful walk demonstrates how gently returning attention to the world around us can help us feel more grounded and connected. The series then moves into the classroom with Mindfulness in School. Through Amira's difficult morning, children learn that mindfulness does not make problems disappear. Instead, a short pause, an anchor breath, focusing on one thing at a time and using kind self-talk can make challenging moments feel more manageable. In Mindful Bedtimes, children explore ways to give busy minds a softer ending to the day. Breathing, stretching, allowing thoughts to pass and reflecting with kindness all become part of creating a peaceful transition towards rest. Finally, A Mindful Life brings everything together. Rosie demonstrates that living mindfully does not mean being mindful every second. Instead, mindfulness can be made up of small moments of awareness and care woven throughout an ordinary, imperfect day. Together, the six episodes help children understand that mindfulness is always available to them. They do not need special equipment or lots of time. Sometimes one breath, one pause or one moment of noticing is enough to begin again. Episodes in this series: S12 E1 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Mornings Starting the day with breathing, stretching, self-awareness and a simple positive intention. S12 E2 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Eating Slowing down and using the senses to experience food with greater attention and awareness. S12 E3 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Walking Using movement, the senses and the world around us to become more grounded and present. S12 E4 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindfulness in School Using short pauses, breathing, focused attention and kind self-talk during busy or challenging learning moments. S12 E5 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Bedtimes Helping the body slow down, allowing busy thoughts to settle and ending the day with gentle reflection. S12 E6 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - A Mindful Life Bringing mindfulness into ordinary moments throughout the whole day and learning that we can always pause and begin again. What children will explore across the series: What it means to bring mindful attention to everyday experiences How breathing can create a short pause between feeling and responding How to check in with thoughts, feelings and physical sensations How the senses can bring attention back to the present How ordinary activities such as eating and walking can become mindful moments How to focus on one thing at a time when learning How kind self-talk can support children when things feel difficult How to allow thoughts to come and go without becoming caught up in them How mindfulness can support calmer bedtime routines Why mindfulness is not about being calm or perfect all the time How one mindful moment can provide an opportunity to pause and begin again Mindfulness Skills from Miss Harrison: Pause and notice Stop for a moment and become curious about what is happening in your body, thoughts, feelings and surroundings. Come back to your breath One slow breath can help bring your attention back to where you are right now. Use your senses Notice what you can see, hear, smell, taste and feel. Your senses can anchor you in the present moment. Focus on one thing at a time You do not have to think about everything at once. Bring your attention gently back to the thing you are doing now. Let thoughts come and go You don't need to stop every thought. Notice it, allow it to pass and gently return your attention to the present. Begin again If your attention wanders or a moment becomes difficult, that doesn't mean mindfulness has gone wrong. Take a breath and start again. These skills help children develop attention, self-awareness, emotional regulation, calm, concentration and a kinder relationship with their own thoughts and feelings. Perfect for: Primary school-aged children beginning or developing a mindfulness practice Families looking for simple mindfulness activities to build into everyday routines Classrooms exploring mindfulness, PSHE and emotional wellbeing Teachers looking for short strategies children can use during the school day Children who sometimes find transitions, busy thoughts or settling at bedtime difficult Schools developing approaches to emotional regulation, attention and wellbeing Series Message: Mindfulness isn't about being calm every moment. It's about noticing where you are, pausing when you need to, and knowing that you can always take one breath and begin again. #MindfulMoments #MindfulnessForEverydayLife #MindfulnessForChildren #ChildrensWellbeing #EmotionalWellbeing #PrimaryPSHE #MindfulMornings #MindfulEating #MindfulWalking #MindfulnessInSchool #MindfulBedtimes #EmotionalRegulation #WellbeingInSchools Send us Fan Mail Wild Critters with PBS Nature Take your family on a wildlife adventures with 'Wild Critters' on 'Orbit!'

  S12 E5 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Bedtimes

  Aug 31, 20265 min

  Mindful Bedtimes – Giving Your Mind a Soft Landing Helping children discover how mindfulness can help their bodies relax and their thoughts settle at the end of the day, and showing them how simple breathing, reflection, and imagination can create a peaceful transition towards rest. In this episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Mindfulness for Everyday Life series, children explore how to bring mindfulness into one of the quietest parts of their day—bedtime. Children learn that although their bodies may be ready to rest, their minds can sometimes still be carrying the day with them. Worries, excitement, things they need to remember, and big feelings can become tangled together just when everything around them becomes quiet. Through Freya’s story, children meet someone who finds bedtime difficult because her thoughts bounce around “like popcorn in a pan.” Her dad suggests giving her mind a “soft landing.” Together, they dim the lights, imagine Freya’s thoughts as clouds floating across the sky, take slow breaths, and remember one good thing from the day. Gradually, Freya’s thoughts begin to settle and her body relaxes into the mattress. The episode introduces a simple mindful bedtime routine: breathe and stretch, let go of the day, and reflect with kindness . Children learn that they don't need to solve every thought before bedtime—they can notice thoughts and then allow them to move on. Children are also introduced to a magical Bedtime Star Jar . Each imaginary or real star can hold a kind thought, happy memory, moment of gratitude, or quiet hope for tomorrow, gradually creating a collection of positive moments to return to. This episode encourages children to create their own gentle bedtime routine and discover how peaceful habits can help signal to their minds and bodies that the day is finished and it is time to rest. What children will learn in this episode: Why thoughts and feelings can sometimes become busy at bedtime How mindfulness can help the mind and body begin to slow down How breathing and gentle stretching can support relaxation How to notice thoughts without needing to hold onto them How reflecting on something positive can help bring the day to a peaceful close How to create a Bedtime Star Jar as part of a mindful evening routine Emotional Skills from Miss Harrison: Breathe and stretch Take three slow breaths and gently stretch your body, allowing your muscles to begin relaxing after the day. Let your thoughts float away Imagine thoughts as clouds or balloons. Notice them without chasing them and allow them to drift away. Reflect with kindness Ask yourself, “What made me smile today? What did I try my best at? What am I thankful for?” Give your mind a soft landing Create a gentle routine that tells your mind and body that the day is finished and you can begin to rest. These skills help children develop relaxation strategies, reflection, emotional awareness, and healthy routines for moving from the activity of the day towards a calmer bedtime. Mindful Moment Challenge: This week, choose one mindful practice to add to your bedtime routine. It might be: A slow breath. A gentle stretch. Watching an imaginary thought float away. Adding something positive to your Bedtime Star Jar. Try it for a few nights and notice whether your body and thoughts begin to slow down. Perfect for: Primary school-aged children developing peaceful bedtime routines Families looking for gentle ways to help children wind down Classrooms exploring mindfulness, emotional wellbeing, and healthy routines Teachers and pastoral leaders introducing relaxation and reflection strategies Children learning how to settle busy thoughts at the end of the day Quote of the Week: "The day is done.

  Episode #4

  S12 E4 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindfulness in School

  Aug 29, 20265 minS12

  Mindfulness in School – Finding Calm in Busy Learning Moments Helping children understand how small moments of mindfulness can help them stay present, calm, and focused during the school day, and showing them how to pause, breathe, and begin again when learning feels busy, frustrating, or difficult. In this episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Mindfulness for Everyday Life series, children explore how mindfulness can become part of everyday life at school. They learn that classrooms can be exciting and interesting places, but that sounds, people, questions, mistakes, and challenging learning can sometimes leave their minds feeling full. Through Amira’s story, children experience one of those school days when everything seems to go wrong. She forgets her homework, spills water on her desk, and then her pencil snaps in the middle of a maths problem. With tight shoulders and a noisy head, Amira feels like giving up. Then she remembers three simple words from her teacher: “Pause. Breathe. Begin again.” She takes a breath, speaks kindly to herself, picks up a new pencil, and returns to her work. The problems haven't disappeared, but they suddenly feel more manageable. The episode introduces children to three simple strategies they can use during learning: an Anchor Breath before beginning a task, focusing on one thing at a time, and using kind self-talk when something feels difficult. Children also create their own Learning Pause Plan—a simple three-stage strategy of Breathe → Notice → Reset that they can keep in their desk, backpack, or simply remember whenever they need to return their attention to the present moment. This episode encourages children to recognise that mindfulness doesn't make difficult learning disappear. Instead, it gives them practical tools to meet challenges with greater calm, focus, patience, and kindness towards themselves. What children will learn in this episode: What mindfulness can look like during an ordinary school day How a short pause can help when learning begins to feel overwhelming How to use an Anchor Breath before beginning a task Why focusing on one thing at a time can make learning feel more manageable How kind self-talk can help when they make mistakes or become stuck How to use a Learning Pause Plan to breathe, notice, reset, and begin again Emotional Skills from Miss Harrison: Use an Anchor Breath Before beginning your work, take one slow breath and imagine it anchoring you like a boat resting on calm water. Focus on one thing at a time Bring your attention to what is in front of you right now—this sentence, this number, this question—rather than everything else you need to do. Talk kindly to yourself When learning feels difficult, remind yourself: “I can do hard things,” “I'm learning, and that takes time,” or “It's okay to try again.” Pause and begin again When your brain feels full or frustration begins to grow, breathe, notice what you're thinking and feeling, and choose one kind action to take next. These skills help children build concentration, perseverance, emotional regulation, positive self-talk, and practical strategies for responding calmly when learning becomes challenging. Mindful Moment Challenge: This week, try using your Learning Pause Plan once each school day. Breathe — Take one slow breath in and out. Notice — Ask yourself, “What am I thinking? What am I feeling?” Reset — Choose one kind thought or action you can take next. Then return to your learning and begin again. Perfect for: Primary school-aged children developing focus and emotional regulation Classrooms exploring PSHE, mindfulness, resilience, and learning behaviours Families helping children manage frustration around schoolwork or homework Teachers and pastoral leaders supporting children during challenging learning Children developing concentration, positive self-talk, and perseverance Quote of the Week: "Pause. Breathe.

  S12 E3 Mindfulness for Everyday Life - Mindful Walking

  Aug 27, 20265 minS12

  Mindful Walking – Finding Peace One Step at a Time Helping children discover how walking can become more than simply travelling from one place to another, and showing them how movement, breathing, and noticing the world around them can help their bodies feel grounded and their minds feel calmer and clearer. In this episode of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison’s Mindfulness for Everyday Life series, children explore mindful walking and discover how something they already do every day can become a simple and powerful mindfulness practice. Children learn that mindful walking means slowing down and giving attention to each step, noticing how their feet feel against the ground, becoming aware of their breathing, and using their senses to connect with what is happening around them. Through Eli’s story, children meet someone carrying a feeling of worry that seems like a cloud sitting on his shoulders. His older sister suggests they take a walk—but not a fast one. Together, they begin noticing what they can see and hear: a yellow flower, a bird beside a puddle, rustling leaves, distant laughter, and the sound of Eli’s own footsteps. With every step, the cloud begins to lift until Eli realises that he feels lighter. The episode introduces children to a sensory mindful walk, encouraging them to notice five things they can see, four things they can hear, three things they can feel, two things they can smell, and one deep breath. They also learn that wandering thoughts aren't a mistake—when their attention drifts, they can simply bring it gently back to their next step. Children are also introduced to a simple Five-Step Reset combining walking, breathing, and the reassuring phrases “I am here” and “I am calm.” It is a strategy they can use on the way to school, during playtime, around the house, or whenever they need a moment to feel more grounded. What children will learn in this episode: What mindful walking is and how it differs from ordinary walking How movement can help the body feel grounded and steady How using their senses can bring their attention into the present moment How to use a simple sensory exercise while walking What to do when their thoughts wander during mindfulness How breathing, movement, and reassuring words can create a quick calming reset Emotional Skills from Miss Harrison: Slow down your steps Notice your feet touching the ground and allow yourself to move without rushing. Use your senses Look, listen, feel, and smell what is around you. Paying attention to your surroundings can help bring your mind back to the present. Let thoughts come and go Your mind will sometimes wander. That's okay. Notice it, then gently return your attention to your next step. Use the Five-Step Reset Breathe in. Breathe out. Remind yourself, “I am here. I am calm.” Then allow yourself a small smile as you continue. These skills help children develop grounding techniques, present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and practical ways to use mindfulness while moving through everyday life. Mindful Moment Challenge: This week, go on one short mindful walk. Move slowly and use your senses. Notice what you can see. Listen to what you can hear. Feel your feet touching the ground. Notice the air around you. Take a slow, deep breath. See what you discover about the world around you—and about yourself. Perfect for: Primary school-aged children exploring practical mindfulness techniques Classrooms exploring PSHE, wellbeing, nature, and emotional regulation Families looking for simple mindfulness activities to practise together Teachers and pastoral leaders supporting children experiencing worry or busy thoughts Children developing grounding, sensory awareness, and present-moment attention Quote of the Week: "One calm step at a time can help you feel more grounded and clear." #MindfulMoments #MindfulnessForEverydayLife #MindfulWalking #MindfulnessForChildren #EmotionalWellbeing #ChildrensMentalHealth #PrimaryPSHE #SocialEmotionalLearning #Grounding #PresentMoment #NatureAndWellbeing #EmotionalRegulation #WellbeingInSchools Send us Fan Mail Support the show

  Complete Series 11: Managing Stress and Overwhelm

  Aug 26, 202632 minS11

  Helping children recognise when life is beginning to feel like too much, understand the signals their minds and bodies give them, and develop practical ways to pause, reset and regain a sense of calm and control. In Series 11 of Mindful Moments with Miss Harrison , children explore stress and overwhelm—what they are, how they can feel, and what they can do when their thoughts, feelings or responsibilities begin to pile up. Across six gentle and practical episodes, Miss Harrison helps children understand that stress is something everyone experiences from time to time. Rather than seeing stress as something frightening or something they should simply “get over”, children learn to notice its early signs and respond with care. The series begins by exploring What Is Stress?, helping children recognise how stress can appear through racing thoughts, physical sensations and feelings of being overwhelmed. From there, children develop practical strategies for Creating a Calm Mind, using breathing and mindful noticing to bring their attention back to the present moment. In The Power of Taking Breaks, children discover that rest is not the same as giving up. They explore quiet, movement and creative breaks and learn to notice the signals that tell them their minds or bodies need a pause. Organising Your Day then explores how simple planning can make a busy day feel more manageable. Children learn to break larger tasks into smaller steps and create space for work, play and rest—while remembering that plans are guides rather than rules. As the series progresses, Turning Stress into Strength helps children recognise that some stressful feelings can appear when they are facing something new or challenging. Through reflection, kind self-talk and manageable steps, children consider what difficult experiences can teach them about their own courage and growth. Finally, Your Stress-Free Zone brings the learning together. Children explore how a calming space, routine or portable Calm Card can give them somewhere to pause, reflect and reset when things feel overwhelming. Throughout the series, relatable stories and Mindful Moment Challenges turn each idea into something children can practise in everyday life—at home, at school and whenever things begin to feel a little too much. Episodes in this series: S11 E1 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - What Is Stress? Recognising what stress is and beginning to notice the signals our minds, bodies and feelings give us. S11 E2 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - Creating a Calm Mind Using breathing and mindful noticing to slow racing thoughts and return attention to the here and now. S11 E3 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - The Power of Taking Breaks Understanding why rest matters and discovering quiet, movement and creative ways to recharge. S11 E4 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - Organising Your Day Using simple plans, manageable steps and a balance of activity and rest to reduce feelings of overwhelm. S11 E5 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - Turning Stress into Strength Exploring how some challenging moments can become opportunities to recognise courage, learning and growth. S11 E6 Managing Stress and Overwhelm - Your Stress-Free Zone Creating a personal space, routine or Calm Card that supports rest, reflection and resetting. What children will explore across the series: What stress is and how it can show up in the mind and body How to recognise when things are beginning to feel overwhelming Breathing and mindfulness strategies for creating calm Why taking a break is part of looking after ourselves, not giving up Different kinds of rest for different needs How planning and breaking tasks into smaller steps can reduce overwhelm The importance of balancing responsibilities with rest and play How kind self-talk can help during challenging moments How reflecting on difficulties can help children recognise their own strengths How to create personal routines and spaces that support calm Emotional Skills from Miss Harrison: Notice the signs Pay attention when your thoughts feel busy, your body feels tense or everything starts to feel like too much. Pause before pushing on Sometimes the most helpful next step is a breath, a movement break, a quiet moment or some rest. Make things smaller You don't have to manage everything at once. Break a busy day or difficult task into manageable pieces. Speak to yourself kindly Replace pressure with helpful words such as: “One step at a time.” Create ways to reset Develop calming routines, spaces and tools that you can return to when you need them. Together, these skills support children in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, mindfulness, resilience, organisation and healthy responses to everyday stress. Perfect for: Primary school-aged children learning to recognise and manage stress Children who sometimes feel busy, pressured, worried or overwhelmed Families developing calm routines and emotional-regulation strategies together Classrooms exploring PSHE, mindfulness, resilience and emotional literacy Teachers and pastoral teams supporting children's wellbeing Children learning that rest, planning and asking for space can all be positive forms of self-care Series Message: You don't have to manage everything at once. Notice what you need, take one step at a time, and give yourself permission to pause. #MindfulMoments #ManagingStress #StressAndOverwhelm #ChildrensWellbeing #ChildrensMentalHealth #PrimaryPSHE #EmotionalWellbeing #EmotionalRegulation #MindfulnessForChildren #Resilience #TakingBreaks #WellbeingInSchools Send us Fan Mail Wild Critters with PBS Nature Take your family on a wildlife adventures with 'Wild Critters' on 'Orbit!'
