Pushing is like when you want to move something by giving it a little nudge with your hands or body. Imagine you have a toy car on the floor. When you place your hand behind it and gently push it forward, the car rolls away. That’s because you’re giving energy to the car, helping it to move.
Think about swinging on a swing set. When someone pushes you from behind, you go higher and higher. This is because the push adds more energy to your swing, making you go faster and higher.
When you open a door, you often push it to make space for you to walk through. You use your hands to apply force, and the door moves away from you.
Even when you play with your friends in a game of tag, you might give a gentle push to tag someone. Remember, a push should always be gentle and friendly, not too hard, so everyone can have fun safely.
