Describe flexibility as it relates to creativity, and provide a scenario, different from that in the text, of a child displaying flexibility.
What will be an ideal response?
Flexibility is the capability of adapting readily to change in a positive, productive manner. A possible example is a child who is painting when a large drip of paint falls unexpectedly from her paintbrush onto her paper. Instead of getting upset, the child might display flexibility by using the paintbrush to add more drips to decorate the entire painting or she might find a way to incorporate the drip into her image.
