In this brief but insightful episode, Dr. Shaw talks about teaching our children to be flexible. As with other tenets of Dr. Shaw's philosophy, teaching flexibility begins with proper modeling for our children. When an adult behaves in a frustrated or inflexible manner, which will happen, it's important to point out that behavior and also explore the situation that you are in for the learning lessons built into it. When we react in a negative way, we should note and mark it and then strive to be better next time. We need to show up in the best possible way, and we need to teach our children that it's ok to be different from one another as in our differences and our ability to be flexible with one another, that's how we demonstrate and learn true acceptance.
