When we say something is extreme, it’s like saying it is the most it can be, like the top of the tallest mountain. Imagine you’re on a swing and you go as high as you possibly can, almost touching the sky. That’s extreme because you’re going as far as you can go!

Think about a day that’s super hot, like when you feel like you’re melting, or a day that’s super cold, and you feel like a snowman. Those are extreme temperatures because they’re at the very ends of what we usually feel.

Now, picture a roller coaster. When it goes up, up, up and then zooms down super fast, that’s an extreme ride because it’s the most exciting and thrilling it can be.

Sometimes, when someone is extremely happy, they might jump up and down, laugh loudly, and smile a lot. They’re showing a lot of happiness, more than usual, and that’s why we call it extreme happiness.

So, extreme is like the biggest, strongest, or most exciting version of something you can imagine!
