Being flexible is like being a bendy straw. Imagine you have a straw that can twist and turn in different directions. It doesn’t break when you bend it; instead, it moves easily. This is what it means to be flexible. Sometimes, when playing with toys or doing something new, you might need to change your plans. Being flexible means you can do that without getting upset.
Think of a rubber band. When you stretch a rubber band, it doesn’t snap right away. It stretches and changes shape but then goes back to how it was. People can be like rubber bands too. When something unexpected happens, a flexible person can adjust and find a new way to do things.
Consider a tree in the wind. When the wind blows, a tree sways gently but doesn’t fall over. It moves with the wind. Being flexible is like that tree. Even if things around you change, you can go with the flow and stay strong.
Finally, think of playdough. You can shape it into anything you want. It can be a ball, a snake, or even a pancake. Being flexible means being open to trying new things and changing when needed, just like playdough can become anything you imagine.
