When you help someone or do something nice for them, they might want to give you a special thank you. This thank you can be a gift or a reward. Remunerate is a big word that means giving someone a special thank you for their help or work. Imagine you are a little bird who helps to build a nest. Your bird friends might give you some juicy worms or shiny pebbles as a way to say thank you for your hard work.
Think of it like when you do your chores at home. Maybe you help clean your room or set the table. Your parents might give you a little bit of money or a special treat like a cookie. This is their way of remunerating you for helping out.
Another way to think about it is like a sticker chart. Every time you do something good, you get a sticker. When you get enough stickers, you might get a prize. The prize is a way to remunerate you for all the good things you’ve done. It’s like saying, ‘Thank you for being awesome!’
