Frustration (Rainforest of Papua New Guinea)

Today we're visiting a rainforest. There are thick climbing vines all around us. We're watching a palm cockatoo try to open a tree nut, for their lunch. It looks hard; and the cockatoo is feeling frustrated. Sometimes when life gets difficult, we can have some time away from what's making us feel frustrated, take a breath and try again.

Happy Alone (Alaskan Mountains)

Today we're headed to a rocky mountain top. There's lots of snow and eagles gliding around us. A fox picks its way through the rocks, alone and looking for lunch. It can be nice to spend time alone, being happy in our own company.

Coping with Anger (Urban sounds of Sydney)

Today we're visiting Sydney, a busy city that's full of sounds. There's trains, bikes, people and lots of birds. A kookaburra is protecting its eggs. Their call is loud, they're feeling angry. Do you sometimes get angry like this kookaburra? It's okay to feel angry sometimes. What's most important is that we try and understand why we're feeling this way.

Active Inclusion (Argentinean Grasslands)

Today we're in grasslands in Argentina. Lovely green grass for the farm animals; chickens and cows and horses. Let's see if the animals can play and include each other, despite their differences. Including others helps people feel safe and feel that they belong. How do you find ways to include people?

Coping with Change (Jungle, Congo)

Today we're visiting the Congo, to watch some chimps play. Big brother's not happy that baby's getting more attention; it can be hard when things change. You can always talk to someone or ask someone you love for a hug. It's important to remember great things can happen with change.
