Imagine you’re playing your favorite game outside with your friends, and suddenly you trip and hit your head on the ground. Ouch! That’s what we call a concussion. A concussion is when you bump or hit your head really hard, and it makes your brain shake inside your head. It’s like when you shake a snow globe, and all the snowflakes swirl around. When your brain gets shaken like that, it can make you feel dizzy, sleepy, or even give you a headache. You might also feel a bit confused or forgetful, like you can’t remember what happened right before you got hurt.

Now, the good news is most concussions aren’t too serious, and you’ll start feeling better after resting for a while. But it’s important to tell a grown-up if you hit your head so they can make sure you’re okay. They might ask you to take it easy for a bit, avoid playing rough games, or watching TV, and just give your brain some time to heal. So, if you ever bump your head, make sure to tell someone, and they’ll take care of you!
