Lesson Overview

23.20 – Asking for What You Need at Home or School: Requesting support from adults or peers begins with clarity and confidence. Identify your need specifically: extra study help, quieter space, or emotional support. Explain how meeting this need helps you function better, not just feel better. Use respectful language and timing—choose moments when people can truly listen. Avoid guilt-based appeals; cooperation grows from understanding, not pressure. Thank people for their effort afterward—it reinforces positive response. When you articulate needs calmly, you teach others how to interact constructively. Over time, expressing needs clearly builds trust and mutual respect, creating supportive systems instead of silent struggles.
