Why Is Seeking Help Offensive?

Chapter 12

NCERT: Class 3, English

“She does the rest of her work herself. If someone tries to help her, she gets very upset.”

The chapter “Sharing our Feelings” from the third grade NCERT textbooks tells the story of a young girl expressing her affection for her brother and her grandmother. While talking about the latter, she appreciatively asserts, “She does the rest of her work herself. If someone tries to help her, she gets very upset.”


This dissuades children from seeking help in times of need. It also amplifies the stigma around disability and mental heath.
