Get Help When You Need It

 

Upstanders use their voices and actions to help make things better for themselves and others. 

Sometimes kids can problem-solve on their own, and sometimes they need help from adults like JoJo does in JoJo & Gran Gran. In each episode, she needs help with a problem and Gran Gran makes a “Gran Gran Plan” to help solve the problem!

Knowing who to turn to for help will make asking for help easier. If telling an adult will help someone — either right away or in the long run — then it’s the right thing to do!

Parent/Caregiver Tip:  can be tricky for children to distinguish between upstanding and “tattling.” You can help your child tell the difference by re-focusing the conversation to problem solving. Encourage them to identify the problem and assess whether it’s something that they can solve on their own (like a sibling not sharing a toy) or if it’s something that they need help to solve.

Age Groups: Big Kids, Little Kids
Skills: Helping, Upstanding

Materials

  • Paper and Crayons

Instructions

  • Let’s think of five grown-ups who you can go to for help with big problems and make a “Helping Hand” with their names.
  • Remember: your grown-ups love you and can help you and other kids solve problems if you need help.  Your trusted adults can be teachers, family members — like parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents —  or  close friends of your family.
  • Tell me who your five helpers are. We can work together to draw a hand and write the names of your five helpers on each finger. We created a helping hand!
  • Now, if you see something that’s wrong, if you ever feel unsafe, or if there’s a big problem that you can’t solve on your own, you know who you can ask for help.

Vocabulary

Upstanding - to stand up for what’s right
Tattle - to tell secrets without trying to be helpful
Help - aid or assistance
