Iowa State University Family Matters Failure can mean creative success Childrens failures arent necessarily bad, if you want children to be creative.
Creativity involves risk-taking and going against the norm, and sometimes that means failure.
But failure often can teach more than success. Other things parents can do to help children be creative is to encourage them to consider several different ideas before making a choice, tell them its OK to be different and teach them how to laugh at themselves. Children are naturally creative and keeping their creative juices stimulated will help them be creative as adults. All rights reserved.
