How do sanctions affect a country's economy and its global trade?

Sanctions are like being told you can't go to your favorite store anymore, it makes getting what you need harder and more expensive.

Imagine a country is like a kid who loves candy. It buys candy from other countries, which is like going to the store. Sanctions are like being told by the teacher that this kid can't visit the store unless they ask nicely or pay extra money. So the kid has less candy, and it costs more.

When a country faces sanctions, it's harder for them to buy things from other countries. This is like having only one friend who brings snacks to school, if that friend can't come, you have fewer snacks to share with your class.

Also, people in the country might lose their jobs or get less money because businesses can’t trade as much. It’s like when a lemonade stand can’t sell lemonade, the person running it might have to take a break or go home earlier.

Sanctions are like setting up roadblocks between countries that usually do business together. When these roadblocks happen, it's harder for goods and money to move freely around the world. This can cause prices in stores to go up, and some businesses might have to close down or change how they work.

Sometimes, other countries will help the one with sanctions, like when a friend brings extra snacks to share. But not always. Sanctions are like being told you can't go to your favorite store anymore, it makes getting what you need harder and more expensive.
