Feeling Free (Woodlands, Australia)

Today we're visiting Tasmania, Australia. We're in the woodlands. Some quolls play and wrestle, play-fighting, and learning. Taking deep breaths when they get puffed out from playing. How does your breathing make you feel?

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.

Forming Connections (Parklands of London)

Today we're visiting a park in London, England. It's doggie hour at the park, a time for dogs to come and play together. There are dogs barking and sniffing, they're so excited to make new doggie friends. How do you make friends? Maybe with a smile, a hello, or a how are you?

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.
