Imagine your brain is like a radio that plays music all day long. When something happens, like being late for school or missing a friend’s message, the music gets louder and more intense, making you feel worried or upset. This loud music inside your head is what we call stress, and it helps your body get ready to face challenges.
Examples
- Your brain turns up the volume when you drop your pencil.
- You feel nervous before a big test like it's the final exam of life.
- Your mom gets stressed every time she sees a red light on her way to work.
