Think of compound like a snowball rolling down a hill. When you start, you have a small snowball, but as it rolls, it picks up more snow and gets bigger and bigger. This is like adding more and more to something you already have, making it grow faster over time. Another way to see compound is like planting a tree. When you plant a tiny seed, it doesn’t look like much. But with water and sunshine, it grows into a big tree with lots of branches and leaves. The seed is like the start, and the tree is what happens when it keeps growing and growing. Lastly, imagine building with blocks. You start with one block, then add another, and another. Soon, you have a whole tower! Each block makes the tower taller and stronger, just like how compound makes things grow by adding more and more over time.
