Boosting Creativity in Children - Practical Activities and Working Tips

By subscription only! You are receiving this newsletter because you requested a subscription.

Hi,
Creative children are smarter than their average peers are, while their ability to succeed in life is quite extraordinary. Creativity is not about achieving excellence in specific field of learning. Creativity is all about being finding solutions to the most critical of all problems, and display an air of freshness in attitude, demeanour, way of life, thinking process and social skills. In fact, it is an amalgamation of different brain skills.

Boosting creativity in young children is possible with careful and calibrated parental response. As creativity is a matter of personal excellence, parents may wish to allow their children that “elusive” freedom of expression, in just enough quantity, to self-generate different creative skills. Have a nice day!

Wall Street Journal Jun 22, 2012

These days the heritability of intelligence is not in doubt: Bright adults are more likely to have bright kids. The debate was not always this calm.
