Asking for Help
Something is too hard or too big, and I want help.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes something is too hard. Sometimes something is too big or too high or too confusing.
2. I might feel stuck. Stuck can feel frustrating.
3. Asking for help is a strong thing to do. Everyone needs help sometimes. Even grown-ups ask for help.
4. I can find a helper. A helper can be my teacher, my parent, or another adult I trust.
5. I can use my asking words.
6. Help makes hard things smaller. Next time, the hard thing might be a little easier.
7. And if it is still hard, I can ask again. Asking is always allowed.

Sovelo Stories are original social narratives, written for neurodivergent kids and reviewed against strict guardrails: no eye-contact training, no masking, no mind-reading — and "no" is always a complete answer. Evidence-informed preparation, not a treatment. © Ezra Brown.
