Demand is like when you really want a toy and you ask your parents for it. It’s the feeling of wanting something very much. Imagine there’s a new toy everyone wants, and there are only a few of them. Because so many kids want it, that toy is in high demand.
Think about a birthday party with only a few slices of cake. If all your friends want a slice, the cake becomes very special and important. That’s like demand—when lots of people want the same thing, it becomes more special.
Demand is also like when you see a long line at an ice cream truck. Everyone wants ice cream, so the truck is in high demand. When many people want something, it shows how much they like or need it.
Lastly, imagine a playground with one swing. If everyone wants to swing, the swing is in high demand. More kids waiting means it’s more wanted. Demand is about how much everyone wants something, making it special or important.
