Kino (movement)

Kino is a word that means movement, specifically movement between people. Have you ever seen when grown-ups give each other high fives or hug when they feel happy or proud of something? That’s kino!

We use kino to communicate with other people without words. We can touch someone's arm to show that we are interested, or hold hands to show affection. Kino can help us understand how someone is feeling by the way they move their body. If someone is hunched over or has a sad face, we know they're not feeling good.

But it's important to remember that kino only works if the other person is okay with it. If someone doesn't want to be touched, we shouldn't touch them. We should always ask for permission before we kino someone, and if they say no, we should respect their decision.

Overall, kino helps us connect with people and show emotions in a non-verbal way, but it's important to use it respectfully and with consent.
