Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The father is using positive and negative instances to help his daughter learn about birds. He provides examples of birds that fly (robin and eagle) and birds that do not fly (ostrich and penguin), and also shows examples of animals that are not birds but can fly or glide (bat and flying squirrel). This is an effective way of teaching the concept of "bird" by providing specific examples that illustrate the characteristics of birds. This approach is known as using positive and negative instances.
