AdaptabilityI am learning that there aredifferent rules for different places.
o Being successful in different places and with different people
o A child who is adaptable will most often at least try to comply with adult prompting and will begin to internalize the rules and norms of different environments
o e.g. knows to use quiet feet when walking in hallways but can run when on the playground.
