Chris the Coyote here. Today Bruce needs a hand.
Bruce the Bobcat wants to be ready.
"What should every helper know?" he asks.
Two things to know by heart
Bruce the Bobcat is our host this week.
Being ready means knowing things before you need them.
Your grown-up has a real name. Not just Mom or Dad.
Your grown-up has a phone number too.
Learn both at home, out loud, with your grown-up.
Never type them into a screen. Just know them.
- A real name has a first and last part.
- A phone number is a row of numbers.
- Say it like a song. Songs stick.
- Tell it only to a helper when you need help.
For a grown-up
Teach your full name and one phone number offline.
Try a tune: sing the digits in groups.
Practice at breakfast for a week. Keep it light.
The lesson never asks the child to type them.
