Why it’s important:
In kindergarten, children must be able to ask for help appropriately. This builds communication skills and ensures their needs are met without frustration or withdrawal.

How to do it:
Role-play common classroom situations where your child might need help, such as opening a container or understanding directions. Practice using phrases like “Can you help me, please?” Encourage eye contact and a calm voice.

What to look for:

• Uses words instead of actions to ask for help
• Speaks politely and clearly
• Seeks help when needed rather than giving up
