Why do we give high fives? Simply, the “high five” is a gesture that encourages a positive outcome! It is like a mini celebration. We give high fives when we are proud of someone, when we complete a task, or just generally, passing along a “good feeling.”
It is important in life to learn how to be our own cheerleaders and be proud of ourselves for what we have accomplished. So let’s make our own, personal high five!
