Challenges and how we face them

 

What do we do when we are faced with a challenge? It is an age old question and one for which we are often still searching for an answer. 

In Autahi we have been learning about challenges and the kinds of things we can do or say that can help us.

The image of a mountain that we have to ascend is a good one for painting this picture. We can see our goal in the distance and have to navigate an uphill path to get there. If we can reach the top on our first try then it isn't really a challenge. But when I am reading a new book for the first time, I might struggle with some of the words and that is a real challenge.

To face this challenge, I need a plan. Here are some of the things we could do:

Think

Ask for help

Keep on trying

Kia Kaha, you can do it! You are still learning to learn.

With some strategies in our pocket we can take on any challenge and not just give up at the first hurdle. 

We will always be faced with new and different challenges and having some tools in our toolkits to help us are so valuable. 

How do you talk about things that are challenging at home? Are there some tools that you could share with your whanau that might help them when they face a challenge?
