Regret is like when you have a balloon and you accidentally let it go. You watch it float away, and you wish you had held on tighter. It’s that feeling of wishing you could have done something differently.
Imagine you are at a candy store and you choose a candy that looks yummy, but when you taste it, it’s not as good as you thought. You may wish you had picked a different candy. That’s regret, feeling like you want to change a choice you made.
Think about building a sandcastle at the beach. You worked really hard on it, but then a wave comes and washes it away. You might feel regret that you didn’t build it further from the water. Regret is that feeling of wishing you could go back and do something another way.
Regret is like a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit. You try to make it work, but it just doesn’t go where you want it to. It’s a reminder that sometimes we make choices that aren’t perfect, but we can learn from them.
