n CBeebies, the BBC service for little children, there’s a programme called Treasure Champs, which aims to teach young viewers about their feelings, and how to manage them. In one episode, the character Barry – a blue rectangle with pink eyebrows – is glum about the result of his football match.
“We lost,” says Barry.
“It doesn’t matter!” says Kari.
“It was my fault. I let all the goals in.”
“I don’t understand why you’re so sad. Just forget about it.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not? It’s just a game.”
“You’re not showing a lot of empathy, Kari. It means putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.”
“Your shoes won’t fit me, Barry.”
