What is the Attraction? It’s when something pulls you toward it, like a magnet pulling a paperclip.
Imagine you're holding a ball and you let go. Gravity, which is a kind of attraction, makes the ball fall down to the ground, just like when you drop your favorite toy and it hits the floor.
Now think about a swing. When you push yourself forward, you move away from the seat, but then gravity pulls you back toward it. That’s how you swing higher and higher, because of this invisible force called attraction.
Sometimes things are attracted to each other even when they’re not touching. Like when your socks stick together after coming out of the dryer, that's also a kind of attraction, just a little different from gravity.
So next time something pulls you toward it, remember: that’s the Attraction at work! What is the Attraction? It’s when something pulls you toward it, like a magnet pulling a paperclip.
