Think of priority like a special list where some things are more important than others. Imagine you have a plate full of cookies, but you can only eat one. The one you choose first is your priority because it’s the one you want the most or need the most at that moment. Sometimes, priorities change, like if you have a chocolate chip cookie and a sugar cookie, and today you feel like chocolate.
Another way to think about priority is like a race. When you have a race, the person who runs the fastest gets the first place. In life, your tasks or things you need to do are like runners in a race. The one that is the most important or needs to be done first is the one that gets the first place, or becomes your priority.
Imagine you have a backpack and you can only put a few toys in it. You have to decide which toys are the most important to take with you. The toys you pick are your priorities because they are the ones you want to play with the most or need for your trip.
