🧸 Scruffy’ C — Talking to a Teacher

Hi, I’m Scruffy. At first, I thought kids had to keep their feelings locked away. But Christopher reminded me: sharing is strength, not weakness.

🌱 Why Talk to a Teacher?

• Teachers are trusted adults who care about your safety.

• They can help with worries about school, friends, or home.

• They can guide you to more support if you need it.

  
  

🛡️ Scruffy’s Safety Ritual — Three Simple Steps

Step 1 — Notice   When feelings feel too big, pause and name them.

• “I feel sad.”

• “I feel worried.”

• “I feel angry.”

  
  

Step 2 — Share   Go to your teacher and say:

• “I’m feeling sad. Can I talk to you?”

• “Something is troubling me. Can I tell you?”

• “I don’t feel safe. Can you help me?”

  
  

Step 3 — Safe   Your teacher listens, helps, and makes sure you’re not alone. Teddy reminds you: sanctuary is always open.

✨ Scruffy’s Reflection

At first, I thought teachers only cared about homework. But Christopher reminded me: teachers are part of sanctuary too. For kids, that means every heavy moment becomes a chance to reach out, tell someone, and remember: you are never alone, ever.
