We usually think of great artists, writers and scientists when someone talks about the creative person. Few of us stop to realize that we all have the power to be creative and that most of us are involved in creative experiences and activities every day. It's possible to be a creative person without being an artist. There arecreative bricklayers, salesmen, lawyers, teachers and certainly creative parents. Anyone who lives with children must continually be looking for new ideas and ways of helping and teaching children, and this involves creativity.
Creativity is a special way of seeing, learning and thinking about things.
It involves new ideas, feelings and experiences. Every child has the potential to be creative. Remember, there is rarely only one right way to do things. Encourage your child to find alternatives. By helping your child be more creative and develop into a creative adult, you are actually giving her greater access to all that life has to offer.
