What is normal?

Normal is what happens most of the time, like when you expect your favorite toy to work the way it always has.

Normal is like the rule that everyone follows in a game. Imagine you and your friends are playing tag at the park. Most of the time, when someone gets tagged, they stop running and become "it." That’s normal, what usually happens. But sometimes, someone might run even after being tagged. That’s not normal, but it’s still okay!

Think of your bedtime routine. Most nights, you brush your teeth, put on pajamas, and go to sleep. That’s normal, the usual way things happen. But sometimes, you might skip brushing your teeth or stay up late watching cartoons. That’s not normal, but it still happens.

Normal helps us understand what to expect. If something changes a lot, we say it's not normal anymore, like if your favorite toy stopped working every day! Normal is what happens most of the time, like when you expect your favorite toy to work the way it always has.
