Six Steps for Boosting Kid's Creativity, Christine Carter Phd.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
~Pablo Picasso
As parents, one of our most important responsibilities in Raising Happy and Caring Kids, is to nurture our children and their innate talents.
If we paid a little more attention to their imaginative play, we could perhaps guide them in the direction of their passion early on. Often, we try to mould our children to what we think they should be interested in instead of helping them explore their creativity.
In addition, as we wrote earlier this week, expressing creativity through imaginative and pretend play helps children with the important task of understanding others.
In this great article, Christine Carter, Phd., Executive Director of The Greater Good Science Center at U.C. Berkeley, gives us six steps for "Boosting Kid's Creativity."
Carter is also the author of Raising Happiness, one of our favorite Parent TOGs.
