All the children are creative by nature, but we can encourage creativity with this easy tips from Julia Cameron:
• Don’t be afraid to leave children (safely) to their own devices. “Sometimes the right non-action is as valuable as the right action.”
• “In limits there is freedom. Creativity thrives within structure. Creating safe havens where our children are allowed to dream, play, make a mess and, yes, clean it up, we teach them respect for themselves and others.”
• “Make a mess with your child. When you are done, time the clean-up. You may be surprised at what an impact five minutes can make.”
• It’s OK to stand back. But it’s also good to demonstrate that it’s fun to be involved. “As long as you are willing to say, ‘This looks fun. I’d like to try this, too,’ your child will mimic your example of openness, playfulness and optimism.”
Drawings is one of the most popular expressions of creativity in children. The act of drawing allows them to express their feeling and their imagination.
