Some people love taking risks because their brains feel good when they do. Imagine you're playing a game where if you win, you get candy, but if you lose, you have to eat broccoli. Some kids will take the chance every time, even if they might end up with broccoli. Others would rather just stick with what they know and avoid the chance of getting veggies.
Examples
- A kid might choose to jump off a slide even if they're scared, just because it feels exciting.
- Someone might take a chance on a new game even if they’ve never played before.
- A person will try eating something spicy even though they know it might burn their tongue.
