What is rapport?

Rapport is when two people feel really comfortable and understand each other.

Imagine you're playing with your best friend at the park. You both know exactly what the other is thinking, like when you say, "I know you want to swing next!" without even asking. That’s rapport, it's like having a super special connection that makes everything easier and more fun.

Think of rapport as sharing your favorite snack with someone who really likes it too. When you share, you both feel happy and closer. If you're playing a game together and you both know the rules without talking, that’s like having rapport, you’re working as a team.

Just like how your friendship gets stronger every time you play together, rapport grows when you spend time with someone. You learn what makes them laugh, what they like, and even how they say "hello", and that makes everything feel more familiar and friendly.
