Look Before
You Leap
Think carefully before you act!
Rushing into a situation without understanding the risks can lead to big trouble.
The Diver’s Dilemma
Imagine you are running towards a swimming pool on a hot day. Do you just jump?
The “Look First” Approach
You stop and look down. The water is deep and clear. You dive safely.
The “Blind Leap”
You run and jump without checking. The pool is empty! You get hurt.
The Big Idea 💡
Acting in haste often leads to regret. Investigate the risks before committing to an action.
Real Examples in Your Life
Online Safety
Don’t click suspicious links or agree to meet online strangers. Check the source first to stay safe from scams and danger.
Big Purchases
Don’t spend all your pocket money on the first cool toy you see. Read reviews and compare prices before buying.
Dangerous Dares
If a friend dares you to do something risky, stop and think. Is it worth getting hurt? Don’t leap into danger.
The “Risk” Meter
Impulsive decisions increase risk quickly. Watch the meter rise. Click “Pause & Think” to lower the danger level!
How to Apply This?
Don’t let excitement blind you. Follow these steps.
1. Stop
Don’t act immediately. Take a deep breath and hit pause.
2. Think
Ask: “What happens next?” “Is there water in the pool?” “Is this safe?”
3. Act
Once you know it is safe, proceed with confidence.
“Better safe than sorry.”
A moment of thinking can save you a lifetime of regret.
🐸 The Jumping Frog — জপিয়াই ভাল পোৱা ভেকুলীটো
A short moral story for young readers / শিশুসকলৰ বাবে নীতিশিক্ষামূলক কাহিনী
🇬🇧 English Story
Hoppy the frog loved to jump. One hot summer day, he saw a pond covered with green leaves. “Yay! A pool to cool down!” he shouted.
He was about to take a giant leap into it without checking.
Just then, an old frog croaked, “Stop! Look first!”
Hoppy stopped and pushed a leaf aside. Below the leaves, there was no water, only hard, dry mud and rocks!
If he had jumped, he would have hurt his legs badly. Hoppy thanked the old frog.
