The value of help and doing things for yourself

Audio Loading

“If I can’t do things my grandma will want to do it for me, but I’ll say to her ‘No, I want to try and do it myself.’ I tell her so I can do it myself and adapt it to the way that I can do it. Just so I can get that independence. Like if I’m cutting up a piece of meat and she sees I’m struggling she’ll look at us as if to say ‘Oh you know do you want me to do it for you’, and I’ll be like ‘No I’ll, I’ll try it myself.’ If I can’t do it then I’ll ask her to do it. It’s very rare she needs to step in, ‘cos I’ve adapted a way to do it. It’s just certain times I need that bit of extra help.”
