Asking for Help

The lesson

Everyone gets stuck sometimes. That is normal for everyone. You might not understand something. You might feel worried. Or you might need help with a job. Asking for help is smart. It is not weak.

Feel stuckPick helperAsk clearlySay thanks
Four steps: get stuck, pick a helper, ask clearly, say thanks.
Try it together

Mia could not solve a puzzle. She felt annoyed at first. Then she asked her teacher for help. Her teacher showed her one small step. Mia solved the puzzle herself after that.

Good to know

Pick the right helper for the job. Ask a teacher about schoolwork. Ask a friend or family member about feelings. Ask a grown-up nearby for a practical problem.

Asking for help is always a smart, brave choice.
