Asking for help: how do I teach my child to do it? Name the feeling first, instead of just saying “keep trying”.
In this cartoon, Mimi says: “Bubbles! I’m big, I can open it all by myself!” Dad, eyes on his book, answers: “Mm-hm. Keep trying, Mimi.” It still won’t open. Then Dad closes his book and tells her: “You feel frustrated, Mimi. Even big people need help.” Mimi asks: “Can you help me, please, Daddy?” And Dad says: “Asking for help is brave, Mimi.”
A sunny morning at the campsite. Together, Mimi and Dad get the bubbles flying.
👨👩👧 Watching together? Ask afterwards: “What did Mimi say to Daddy when the bottle would not open?”
Sunny Lane: little stories about being brave and kind, to watch together.
