What is love?

Love is kind hands and happy hugs. We help because someone feels special. Love sounds like gentle words. Love shares toys and keeps close.

Love is a strong caring feeling that makes you want someone to be safe and happy. Because they matter to you, you might hug them, help them, share, or say kind words. It can feel warm inside, like sitting under a cozy blanket when the room is chilly.

Love is caring so much about someone that their happiness and safety matter to you. It happens in your feelings, thoughts, and actions: you enjoy being near them, miss them when they are gone, and choose kind things for them. Your brain uses chemicals, tiny body messengers, that can make hugs and smiles feel extra good. Fun fact: a hug can help many bodies feel calmer.
