Asking for help is hard. It feels like weakness. It involves vulnerability. It means admitting that we don’t know something, that we’ve failed, or that we’re afraid. But here’s the truth: it’s also the strongest thing we can do. It’s the only way to grow.

Imagine giving our children this superpower—the ability to ask for help without hesitation or shame. Normalizing it. Encouraging it. That might be one of the greatest gifts we can offer them.

So how do we do it? By modeling it. First, we need to recognize where we fall short, where we’re struggling, and where fear holds us back. And then we need to say it out loud. Next, we seek the help we need—whether it’s asking for advice, comfort, or guidance. Let them see you ask for directions when you’re lost. Let them see you go to therapy, hire a coach, or lean on a mentor. Let them witness you following the wisdom of others and evolving because of it.

No one is so strong that they can carry life’s weight alone. And no one is beyond deserving help. Just like the saying goes: you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. In the same way, you only receive the help that you ask for.

Let’s teach them early. As the beautiful children’s book ​The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse​ reminds us, asking for help is not surrender. It’s the ultimate refusal to give up.

It’s the bravest thing you can do.

Are your kids picky eaters, tired after practice, or always sick? You’re not alone. Many kids are missing key nutrients in their diets like Vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium. Over 70% of the population, including kids, have insufficient levels of Vitamin D, 60% don’t get enough magnesium and 40% are calcium deficient.*
