Imagine you're playing with building blocks, each block is a timeline, and when you stack them, they make a bigger story.
What's a timeline?
A timeline is like the path of events that happen one after another. It's like watching a movie from start to finish, every scene happens in order. You can think of your day as a timeline: morning, school, lunch, playtime, bedtime, all in a row.
What are multiple timelines?
Now imagine you have two sets of building blocks. Each set tells its own story. If you put them side by side, they’re multiple timelines, like two movies playing at the same time on different screens.
Maybe one timeline is about you and your friend playing hide-and-seek, and another timeline is about your brother racing his toy car. Both are happening right now, but in their own way, just like how you can play with blocks while your brother plays with cars, both having fun at the same time!
