Foster Creativity In Kids

in #kids8 years ago

A little girl is drawing a picture of god, her teacher comes to her and asks: “ What are you drawing?” she says: “I am drawing god”. teacher says: “but nobody knows what god looks like.” The girl say: “They will, in a minute” (Ken Robinson).

I invite you to watch Ken Robinson Ted Talk.

He explores creativity, with humor and smarts. Our creativity, he says, is a necessary part of our intelligence – It’s our responsibility to nurture it within each of our children, within ourselves.

As children, we take a chance, we don’t hold back just because we might be wrong.

But what does education do to us? Ken Robinson talks about our concept of education. He says this issue runs deep with everyone. What happens to us as children within the borders of that “education” – as we grasp it?

Inspired by this video, I think we should all invest in ourselves, give it some thought and great attention – just as if you were your own small child – When ever you go to a teacher, a class, especially the ones concerning creativity – find the teacher that will not crash your creativity.

Some of us need a teacher that will help us find our creativity, and some need a teacher that will not crash the existing one.

Yeah, he is definitely a force for the positive. There are plenty of his other talks on youtube, of course, but here's one I particularly enjoyed:


Thanks for for the post.

Funny, all of my text was lost -- perhaps because of the link I posted? Oh. well, just learning here.
