What is cohesiveness?

Cohesiveness is when things stick together well and work as one group.

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. If the blocks are all loose and wobbly, the tower might fall over easily. But if they’re snug and fit together nicely, the tower stands strong, that’s cohesiveness in action!

Like a Group of Friends

Think about your friends at playtime. If everyone is playing the same game, listening to each other, and helping out, it's like they're all connected, that’s cohesiveness! But if some kids are running off to do something else, or not paying attention, it’s harder for the whole group to work together.

Like Glue on Paper

Cohesiveness is like glue. When you glue two pieces of paper together, they stick and become one, that’s what happens when things are cohesive. They don’t fall apart or go their own way; they stay together and support each other.

So, whether it's blocks, friends, or paper, cohesiveness means staying together and working as a team!
