Imagine you have a favorite toy, and your friend says it’s not as good as yours. You might not believe them even if they’re right, just like people don’t always believe in facts when they’re wrong. Sometimes we keep believing something because it helps us feel safe or confident.
Examples
- A kid believes his favorite ice cream is better than all others, even when it's clearly not.
- Your mom says the sky is blue, and you believe her even though it’s sometimes purple.
- You’re told the moon is made of cheese, and you still think it’s true.
