Definition: To make somebody able (to do, or to be, something); to give sufficient ability or power to do or to be; to give strength or ability to.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s talk about a word today – “enabling.” It's a tricky one, it sounds quite neat, But understanding it is oh so sweet! The dictionary tells us, clear and bright, “To make somebody able, with all their might!” It means to give them the tools, you see, The power and the strength to truly be. Like giving a runner a shoe that’s new, Helping them run faster, strong and true! Or building a ladder, step by step so slow, To help someone climb where they long to go. But here's the key, a little bit of care, Enabling can sometimes lead to despair. Think about this carefully, don’t you see? If we always give them what they need to be, They might not learn to try and reach their goal, And lose the strength within their very soul! So enabling means to offer aid, But letting them struggle, a little bit swayed, Can build resilience and make them strong, Where they truly belong. Does that make sense? Any questions so far? Let’s discuss!
