What are competencies?

A competency is like a special skill that helps you do something really well, just like how your favorite toy helps you play better.

Imagine you're learning to ride a bike. At first, it's wobbly and hard, but with practice, you get faster and more confident. That’s building up a competency, the ability to balance and pedal smoothly without falling.

Think of competencies like tools in your toolbox. Each tool helps you fix or build something different. A competency is like having a hammer that lets you hit nails perfectly every time, so you can build a cool treehouse.

Sometimes, you need more than one tool, just like how you might need both balance and pedaling skills to ride your bike all the way to the park.

When you have strong competencies, it’s easier to do things without getting tired or frustrated. It's like having a super-strong toy that never breaks, you can play longer and have more fun!
