When the child faces a problem, they see in the story that instead of answering right away, they pause to look and try changing just one thing at a time. The child is invited to try this in their daily life too.
In the coloring activity, by coloring the position of the pot and the condition of the basil in each scene, the child discovers once again which change made a difference.
