Have you ever noticed how different places can make you feel or act differently? That's because our environment, or where we are, can change how we behave. Imagine being at a party with lots of friends. You might feel happy and playful, so you'll probably act lively and talkative. But if you're in a quiet library, you might feel calm and quiet, so you'll probably behave more quietly, too.
Our environment includes all the places we go, like home, school, parks, and stores. It also includes the people around us, like our family, friends, and teachers. These places and people can influence how we act in many ways.
For example, when we're at home, we might follow the rules our parents set for us. But when we're with our friends at the playground, we might play different games and follow different rules. That's because we're influenced by the people and the place we're in.
Sometimes, the things around us, like colors, sounds, and smells, can also affect how we feel and act. Have you ever noticed how being in a bright, colorful room can make you feel happy, while being in a dark, quiet room can make you feel a bit sad or sleepy?
So, our environment can change how we feel and act. It's like our surroundings have a superpower to make us behave in different ways. Understanding how our environment affects us helps us know ourselves better and learn how to adapt to different situations.
In this lesson, we'll explore more about how our environment influences our behavior and how we can learn from it.
