10 Tips to Encourage Flexible Thinking
Flexible thinking is not only essential for academic success but also plays a crucial role in building strong and healthy relationships, particularly with friends.
Our objective for children facing social challenges is to empower them to accurately interpret social cues and adapt their interactions accordingly. During play, if it seems like the dynamics could turn unfriendly, unfair, or unsafe, we prompt them with questions like “Why do I feel uncomfortable right now?”
This causes them to reflect on their behavior and the situation at hand. By encouraging them to pause and assess their actions, they can make informed choices to steer the play in a positive direction, and avert any potential negative outcomes.
