The Young Imagination: 5 Ideas for Directing Your Child's Creative Pursuits Without Restricting Them Oh, the mind of a child. There's nothing like watching a child engage in their first acts of creation, their passion mounting in their voice and a look in their eye that tells you their pulse is racing with nothing more than the sheer electrifying act of discovery. Unfortunately, as they grow and mature, their creative fervor diminishes, and they become, well, more like us.But a parent can help to keep the creative element alive in their child—and perhaps even awaken it themselves, by following these 5 great tips:1.
