What are core principles?

Core principles are like rules that help things work better together, just like how your favorite toy has rules to make it fun.

Imagine you have a big box of building blocks. If everyone stacks them however they want, the tower might fall down. But if you all agree on some simple core principles, like “always put the bigger block at the bottom,” the tower stays up and looks cool!

How Core Principles Work

Think of core principles as instructions for a team game. If you're playing soccer with your friends, having rules like "kick the ball with your feet," or "don’t run into other players," helps everyone have fun without getting hurt.

Sometimes, people change the rules, just like how you might say, "What if we use our hands instead?" That’s okay! But having core principles gives everyone a starting point to play fair and have more fun together.
