HOW TO ASK FOR HELP • Remember, it's okay to ask for help. Don't be embarrassed, and don't worry about other people judging you. • Think what might happen if you don't get help—or if you do. • Decide what the problem is and what help you need. • Think about who you can ask for help. Choose someone you trust and who will know how to help you. • Think about what you'll say when you ask for help. Do it. • Remember, getting help when you need it is part of being responsible—to yourself. Here are some things you can do to encourage your child to ask for help when he or she needs it. Keep in mind that many children don't ask for help because they're too embarrassed to admit they need it. • Talk with your child about the importance of letting you know when he or she is having difficulty with something. Let your child know you want to help or get the right kind of help to overcome the problem. • Make it clear that it's normal and okay to ask for help. Let your child know about times when you needed help and how you solved problems by getting help from others. Stress the importance of taking responsibility for getting the help we need.
