When you feel a shiver, it’s like your body is doing a little dance because it’s either cold or excited. Imagine you are standing in a room full of snowflakes, and suddenly your body starts to wiggle and shake. That’s your body’s way of saying, “Brrr, it’s chilly!” It’s like when you see a puppy shake its fur after a bath, trying to get warm and dry.
Another way to think about a shiver is when you’re so excited or nervous that your body can’t stay still. It’s like when you’re waiting for a big surprise or when you see your favorite superhero on TV, and your body just buzzes with energy. It’s a bit like when you have a fizzy drink, and all the bubbles tickle your nose, making you giggle and feel tingly all over.
Sometimes, a shiver is like a tiny earthquake inside you, where your muscles shake a little to keep you cozy or to show how thrilled you are. It’s your body’s way of talking to you without using words, telling you, “I’m feeling something special!”
