re-activities on HOM (flexibility)

Activities on HOM
 
How to teach this value (flexibility) to the child ?
 
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is something that could be better changed in ourselves. First of all, I will be aware of the things I need to change in the child. I will ask the questions to myself like : a) How am I flexible ?
b) How often am I exhibiting that characteristic ?
c) How is it helpful in day-to-day situations ?
d) What are its disadvantages ?
e) How do their benefits overcome the disadvantages ?
f) How is it helpful from the child's perspective ?
g) How can I make the child learn this ?
 
After this, I will be aware of the situation and consciously I will start exhibiting this quality. Since my character is somehow reflected in the child, I start talking to her about the characteristic I want to teach her quite often, like, its features, benefits, uses etc. I make the kid aware of this, and naturally the kid starts showing it.
