When we're scared, our body wants to stay hidden from danger. Tiptoeing is like walking in a whisper, it helps us move quietly and avoid being caught by whatever is scaring us. It's almost like we’re pretending to be a ninja!
Examples
- A child tiptoes past a spider in the hallway to avoid being seen.
- You tiptoe into your room after hearing a loud noise outside.
- Your friend tiptoes across the kitchen floor to sneak some cookies.
