The Universe is like the Ocean, it moves in many ways. Sometimes the oceans expand even beyond the brim, other times they recede. So does the Universe as the energy and material in the universe have interaction like the atmosphere and the oceans, the tides, the moon and the sun.
Our hearts expand, sometimes full of love, sometimes sad. But the bad doesn't last long and the good always keeps a memory for you too, that will last. The one who made all of this, meant for the good to last forever.

I don't know. I wouldn't try to explain the expanding universe to a child. Would you?

Take a balloon (a largish round one works best) using a magic marker put a number of dots rather close together then start blowing it up. You will note how the dots separate from each other. This was how a physicist friend of my mothers explained it to me when I was about 8 years old and it made sense to me

Kinda like raisins baking in a loaf of raisin bread. The raisins become further apart from each other as the bread rises while it bakes.

Tell him/her it's like a fat person at a buffet. They come in hungry, their stomach is small and empty.. and as they start eating and putting 2-3 plates away, it expands and grows and fills up...

Most adults can't grasp this concept. Why even try with a child?

Just throw your arms around him/her and say
"see how mommy loves you?, that will grow and grow and never expire" like the universe. =)
