What's a crisis?

A crisis is like when something big goes wrong all at once. It’s like your favorite toy breaks right before a party, you’re really upset!

Two different toy boxes

Now, imagine one toy box has all your building blocks, and the other has your favorite action figures. If both boxes break at the same time, that means two separate crises:

  • The first crisis is losing your building blocks.
  • The second crisis is losing your action figures.

It’s like having two sad moments happen all at once, one after the other, but both really important to you! Imagine you have two toy boxes that both break at the same time, that’s like having two separate crises.
