The story “Flexible, Bendable Lofty” was meant to highlight the following learning objective: “Understand the importance and benefits of being adaptable; learn of the detriments to being inflexible.”

Here are some questions to talk about with your child on this topic:

• What do you think it means to be adaptable? (If your child doesn’t know, or isn’t able to explain this term, take some time to look the definition up in a dictionary or thesaurus.)
• In what situations do you think it would be good to keep an adaptable mindset?
