See, now the books fell down. So, there is no physical contact between the books and my hand, It is called NON - CONTACT FORCE.
Yes Mom. I am able to relate these with my Textbook.
Laura, I am able to stand because the gravity is pulling me towards the ground, So, it can be also called GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. The objects need not always be in physical contact.

Laura, do you feel your hair being pulled by the TV Screen ?
It's ok, Darling. It happened because of FRICTIONAL FORCE. It is the force that opposes motion when two or more objects are in contact move in respect to each other.
Mom, I tripped over the books. Ooouuch !! It hurts..
Yes Mom, I do
It is because of ELECTROSTATIC FORCE. Before you came into the room, I was watching TV. So, the TV is the Charged Body and your hair is Uncharged. Hence, it was attracting your hair.

You're welcome, Laura
Is it still hurting ?
I will explain them orally as I don't have the materials to show you as examples.
It is better now. Mom, there are 2 more forces left.
MECHANICAL FORCE, the force exerted by machines.Eg - Engine of a Car, Closing and Opening of Door
Thank you so much, Mom. I understood FORCE and TYPES OF FORCE properly by the examples you gave me today.

Notice this Laura. For holding the books, my muscles are being used too. So, it can be also called MUSCULAR FORCE.
See, as I am holding the books, there is a physical contact between the books and my hand, so it is called CONTACT FORCE.
Yes, Mom. This is exactly what I asked ma'am that day.
