When we get cold, our bodies shiver to stay warm. Shivering is like when you jump around in place, your muscles move quickly to make heat. It's your body’s way of saying, 'I need more warmth!'
Examples
- When you go outside in winter without a jacket, your whole body starts shaking to keep warm.
- Your mom might shiver on the couch if she forgot to put on socks before bedtime.
- Even pets like dogs or cats can start to shiver when it's too cold for them.
