Explanation
Some actions look like help but really do harm. For example, letting a friend copy homework stops them from learning. If we break something, hiding it is not help; we must tell the truth. Real help is helping someone with what they cannot do alone. A good person brings benefit to people.
Worked examples
“The broken glass”. Running past, Anvar broke a glass in the classroom. His friend Ravshan said: “Tell nobody, we’ll throw it away.” Anvar thought for a moment and told the teacher the truth. The teacher said: “I’m glad you were honest.” Ravshan said too: “You did the right thing.”
Class activity
“Help or harm?”: the teacher reads situations; children raise a hand for “help” and keep hands down for “harm”.
