My name is {{childName}}. This is my story about what to do when I do not understand something in class. Sometimes the work is confusing, or I am not sure what to do next. This happens to everyone — to children and to grown-ups too. Not understanding is a normal part of learning.
When I feel stuck, I can take a slow breath first. Then I can read or look at the work again. I can try one small part of it. Sometimes trying a small part is enough to work the rest out, and that feels great.
If the work is still confusing, I can raise my hand and say, 'I don't understand. Can you help me?' Then my teacher will explain it again, maybe in a different way. Teachers like it when children ask — it shows them I want to learn.
Bit by bit, the confusing thing gets clearer. It is okay to ask more than once — some things take a few tries to understand. Every question I ask helps my brain learn. I am a learner, and learners ask questions.
