Please read “Parenting for Creativity“, inspired by Jonah Lehrer’s important reminders in “Classroom Creativity.”
“Everybody wants a creative child – in theory. The reality of creativity, however, is a little more complicated, as creative thoughts tend to emerge when we’re distracted, daydreaming, disinhibited and not following the rules. In other words, the most imaginative kids are often the trouble-makers.” ~ Jonah Lehrer
I really enjoyed that!
Doreen, thank you! I’ve been interested in and learning about creativity for a long time with much more still to learn… It’s fascinating.
