Guilt is like having a little cloud over your head when you know you’ve done something wrong. Imagine playing with your favorite toy and accidentally breaking it. That feeling in your tummy, like a little knot, is guilt. It’s your heart’s way of telling you that you need to make things right.
Think of guilt as a whisper in your ear. It’s like a tiny voice that says, “Oops, maybe that wasn’t the best choice.” It’s not there to make you feel bad forever but to help you learn and grow. When you listen to this whisper, you can figure out how to fix the mistake, like saying sorry or helping to clean up.
Guilt can also be like a stop sign in your mind. When you see a stop sign, you pause and think about what to do next. Guilt does the same thing. It helps you stop and think about what happened and how you can do better next time. It’s like a little teacher inside you, guiding you to be kinder and more careful.
