Recognizing When to Seek Help

Introduce the idea of recognizing when you need help and why it's important. Use this slide to set the stage for the lesson. Mention that everyone sometimes needs help and that asking is a sign of strength.

When Should You Ask for Help?

This slide brings in examples of situations where asking for help might be necessary. Use images or real-life examples to illustrate the points.

Why Asking for Help is Good

Discuss the benefits of asking for help. Emphasize that everyone, even adults, ask for help sometimes, and it's a way to learn and grow.

Scenario Activity
