What are responses or actions?

Responses or actions are what you do when something happens to you, just like how you might jump if a big dog barks at you.

Imagine you're sitting on the floor playing with your favorite toy, and suddenly it gets taken away by your brother. Your response could be to cry, laugh, or grab it back from him. A response is like your body or mind saying, "Hey, that happened, I'm reacting to it!"

Now imagine you see a ball rolling toward you, and instead of just standing there, you run after it and kick it away. That’s an action, something you choose to do on purpose.

Sometimes, responses are quick like blinking when something bright flashes in your eyes. Other times, actions take more time, like building a tower with blocks or saying "hello" to someone new.

You use both responses and actions all day long, they're how you play, learn, and make friends! Responses or actions are what you do when something happens to you, just like how you might jump if a big dog barks at you.
