and find someone and show them what you need help with • fear of looking foolish – recognise what you intend to achieve,

feelings/practice • Change – list what is going to change, keep clam and consider

the benefits • Relationships – be honest about what you want• Conflict – have a plan, you may need to back down or get

with. Tell someone you trust first • not knowing... – do some more research, find out how your

teacher learnt about it
