Look Around for Ways to Help

When Dora goes out on an adventure, she encounters all sorts of problems to solve and people/animals to help!

A lot of people want to be helpers, but it can be hard knowing where to start. 

A tip: Just look around! No matter your age, there are ways that you can be helpful to yourself and to others right where you are.

Parent/Caregiver Tip: Children who are asked to “be helpers” are more responsive than children who are asked “to help.” (Source) So, encourage the little ones in your life to pitch in and be helpers to make the world a better place!
