We all want our friends to be happy. But if they are feeling sad, then it’s important to know what to do to help them.
If you recognise that your friend is upset, then you could talk to an adult about it. But there are lots of other things you can do.
Watch the video to find out what you can do to help someone when they are feeling upset.
MUSIC
PIP: Declan is acting a little bit different today. He looks… sad. Do I ask him what's wrong? Do I tell an adult? I want him to feel better but I don't know what to do.
DING
The narrator explains what to do while we see animations of someone looking sad and asking an adult for help.
NARRATOR: If you recognise that someone is upset, there are a couple of things that you can do. You can talk to your friend to see if they're okay. If they aren't okay, then you should talk to an adult to get some help and make sure they can feel better again. Another thing that you can do to help is suggest things to do that your friend enjoys.
PIP: I know! Declan likes basketball. And, he likes strawberries!
Pip approaches Declan with a strawberry in her hand.
PIP: Declan? Have you ever played basketball with strawberries?
DECLAN: You what?
PIP: Catch!
Declan laughs. He throws a strawberry in the air.
DECLAN: Oh! You mean this here?
BOTH LAUGH
PIP: Good to see you back to your fun self! Maybe we should go talk to a teacher.
DECLAN: Yeah, maybe that's a good idea Pip. I still feel a bit upset, and an adult can help.
PIP: Yeah, come on!
