Mini Lesson

Asking for help is a smart and brave choice. We do not have to solve every problem alone.

When should you ask for help?

  • Ask for help if you feel hurt, unsafe, or very worried.
  • Ask for help if you are confused and do not know what to do next.
  • Ask for help right away if a problem feels too big to fix safely by yourself.

Who can help?

  • At the park, you can ask your grown-up or another trusted adult.
  • At home, you can ask a parent or caregiver.
  • Pick a grown-up who listens, helps, and keeps you safe.

Helpful words

“Please help me.” “I feel unsafe.” “I am stuck.” “I do not understand.”
