    Hi, yes I think that children need to be more creative or children who do not have creativity can develop some creativity in themselves. There are some people who think that every child is born with creativity and every child should have creativity. Creativity is a skill which needs to be developed in kids if they are interested. You cannot forcefully try to develop creativity in kids if they are not interested. There are many children who are not creative and cannot think of any creative things at all. There are several ways by which you can encourage and develop the creativity in the child if he seems interested.

    Hello, creativity can be shown in different fields like art, craft, food or any other thing. When a child is said to be creative it is seen that he is confident in doing things and also has thinking capability of his own. Having creativity does not only mean having it in art or dance or music or any other hobbies but it can be in anything. There are people who use their creativity in solving problems as well. It is also said that creativity help the person to be more flexible and a great thinker. If your child has such talent, then he is really lucky.

    Hi, it is seen that children who are creative are more likely to adapt easily in any kind of change and can handle situations more smartly. These children even take advantages of all the situations easily. It is possible for you to train the child easily and help him develop creativity and also help children seeing creativity in other way. Helping the child develop his creativity can help the child to increase his optimism, perseverance and concentration. They will slowly learn things and this may also take time but once they learn it they will get the hang of it easily.

    When you teach your children to develop creativity in themselves be patient enough for them to learn properly. Do not be in a hurry and do not expect your children to be perfectionist as soon as you teach them something. It is extremely necessary that you keep patience and handle the situations calmly and without getting overexcited. Give time to the child when he learns new things and tries to do it he may not do it as perfectly as you do it but appreciate his effort and do not shout because the things are not perfect according to you.

    Children always learn from their mistakes and motivating and encouraging them is your responsibility. Give them time so that they can concentrate on their interests. They may make several mistakes but they will also learn things from it. I think as parents you should support your child completely and also allow the children to do things which might get their hands and themselves dirty. There are some parents who do not allow their children to get dirty. Such rules should not be implied to the children as because of this they can lose out on opportunities which can help them grow and develop in an open and free environment.

    I have seen parents who give examples of other children and tell them to be like those other children. Do not do this, let your child be different from all the children and if he has different interests and liking then do not stop your child from doing those and also help them do it. Support your child every time so that he can develop his individuality. Children who are creative and illustrative look different in other kids. Let the child have his own lookout of the world and let him come up with his own ideas.

    Hi, according to me children should be left free and not restricted to do anything they want to do, but it is equally important that the children understand their limits. There are at times when children try to cross their limits. It is our responsibility as parents to make our children understand their limits and know all the things properly. It is also important that the children are safe and do not do something in excitement which might hurt them. Explain them all the pros and cons of the things they do so that they understand their limits clearly.

    There are parents who ask the children to do things which are interesting according to them but might bore the kids. Do not be afraid of the fact that your child finds the things boring but make it a habit that he develops interest gradually and give your child the time so that he learns and develops interest gradually. Give your child the space he requires so that he can discover things within himself and explore them. Always try to be positive to your child and support them. No matter what always appreciate your child’s efforts.
