What are relationships?

Relationships are how things connect and work together, just like friends playing a game.

Imagine you have two toy boxes, one has red blocks, and the other has blue blocks. If you take a red block from the first box and put it in the second, now both boxes have something from each other. That’s a kind of relationship: they’re sharing.

Like Friends Sharing Toys

Think about your best friend. When you share your favorite toy with them, or they give you their candy, that's a relationship, you're connecting and helping each other out.

Now imagine you and your friend both want to play with the same toy. That’s another kind of relationship, it can be fun, but sometimes it can also lead to a little argument if you don’t take turns.

Relationships Can Be Different

Sometimes, relationships are like a team, you work together to build something cool. Other times, they’re like two people who just need a little space to play by themselves.

So, relationships are all about how things or people connect and interact with each other in different ways.
