Institutional means something that is created and run by a group or organization to help people work together smoothly.
Imagine you're in a big classroom with 30 kids, it can get loud and confusing when everyone wants to talk at the same time. That’s where institutions come in! They’re like helpers who make sure everything runs well.
Like a Classroom Rulebook
Like a Playground Leader
Now imagine there’s a leader who helps keep the rules fair and makes sure no one gets left out. That leader is like an institution too, they help everyone follow the rules and have fun together, making the playground a better place for all.
So when something is institutional, it means it's part of a system made to help people work well together, just like your classroom or playground!
