What does Approving really mean?

Approving means to give something your agreement or permission. Let's break it down into simpler terms. Imagine you have a really cool toy that you really like. You take it to school and show it to your friends, and they all think it's amazing. They start saying things like "Wow, that's awesome!" and "I wish I had one too!". They are showing their approval of your toy. They are telling you that they like it and think it's really great. It's like they are giving their permission for you to have that toy and they are agreeing that it's something good.

Approval can also happen when you do something well, like getting a good grade on a test or helping someone out. Let's say you worked really hard on a science project and your teacher gave you a big smile and said, "Great job, you did amazing!". That's the teacher's way of approving your work. They are telling you that they agree that you did a fantastic job and they are giving you their permission to feel proud of yourself.

So, when we say something is "approving", it means that people are saying it's good, they agree with it, and they are giving it their permission. It's sort of like getting a green light to go ahead and enjoy or be proud of something. It's a way for people to show that they like or agree with something, and it can make us feel really good!
