They discuss the importance of recognizing when you need help, how to ask for it, and expressing gratitude afterwards. The video emphasizes the importance of staying calm, thinking of safe people who can help, and being polite and thankful.
"Eve! Eve, where are you?" "Yes, Hunter. I'm right here. Is everything okay?" "I'm trying to stay calm, but I think I'm stuck. The snow is so deep, I can't wiggle my way out." "Well, you're doing a great job keeping calm. Let's take a breath and figure this out. Now, do you know how to get help when you need it?" "How do I do that?" "Well, when you recognize you need help, think about a safe person who might help you. Can you help me, Eve?" "I would love to help you, Hunter, but I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to fly you out of there. Any other ideas?" "Hey, there's Mr. Garcia. He's my next-door neighbor and is really nice. Plus, he's really strong. What should I say?" "Ask for help by explaining what you are trying to do or what you need." "Okay, but what if he says no or he can't help?" "It never hurts to ask. Just be polite. You will be surprised how often others are willing to help you." "Um, excuse me, Mr. Garcia?" "Hey, little buddy. What's up?" "I think I'm stuck. Would you mind pulling me out?" "Sure, no problem. Hold still. Hunter, do you know what step three is?" "I bet I can guess. Step three is to say thanks for the help you receive. Thank you, Mr. Garcia." "Very good. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks again, Mr. Garcia. I don't know what I would have done without you." "Glad to help. See you later." "What an adventure we had today." "Yep, and I learned to know when I need help and how to ask for it by calmly and politely explaining my situation. And Mr. Garcia was more than willing to help. And, of course, to always be grateful." "That's perfect! And I'd like to thank you for your help today too, Eve. Would you like to come in for a hot cocoa?" "Oh, I'd love to!"
