When someone threatens, it’s like they are being a big, scary monster trying to make you feel afraid. Imagine a big, fluffy bear who is usually nice, but suddenly it starts to growl and show its teeth, making you feel uncomfortable or worried. That’s what a threat feels like. It’s not nice because it makes you feel scared, even if nothing bad has happened yet.
Think of a stormy cloud in the sky. When it gets dark and rumbly, you might feel nervous that it’s going to rain really hard. A threat is like that cloud. It might not rain, but the dark cloud makes you feel uneasy and unsure about what’s going to happen next.
Imagine a friend who says they won’t play with you anymore unless you give them your favorite toy. That’s a threat too. They are using words to make you feel upset so that you will do something you might not want to do. Threats are like a puzzle that makes your heart feel heavy because you don’t know what will happen if you don’t listen.
