The rule

A person should present a problem as a shared challenge.

This makes the person a partner in finding a solution. It shows the person is proactive, not helpless.

A person can ask for help by showing they have already tried to solve the problem. The person should explain what steps were taken. The person should also suggest possible next steps. This makes the person a partner in solving the problem. It shows the person is thinking and trying.

A student needs help with a math problem. The student tells the teacher, 'I tried to solve problem 5 by using method A and method B. I think method C might work, but I am not sure. Can you look at my work and tell me what you think?' The teacher sees the student has already worked on the problem.
