prevent
Think of ‘prevent’ like being a superhero who stops something bad from happening. When you see a puddle on the floor, you put a towel over it so no one slips. You are using your superhero skills to keep everyone safe!
Imagine you have a magic shield. This shield can stop things like rain from getting you wet. When you use your shield, you are preventing yourself from getting soaked. It’s like saying ‘no’ to the rain!
Pretend you have a big, strong gate in front of your house. This gate keeps out things you don’t want inside, like a big, noisy dog. By closing the gate, you prevent the dog from coming in and making a mess.
Think about a sunscreen you put on your skin. It stops the sun from burning you while you play outside. The sunscreen is a special helper that prevents the sun from hurting you.
Consider wearing a helmet when you ride a bike. The helmet protects your head and prevents you from getting hurt if you fall. It’s like having a safety bubble around your head.
