Take a deep dive into what creativity is, how it manifests itself, and how to support and nurture your child's (and perhaps your own!) creativity. Written for parents and teachers, "Boosting Your Child's Natural Creativity" (formerly "Raising Creative Kids") is a guide to fostering creativity and sustaining the creative spirit in children both at home and at school. Creativity is both a capacity we are born with and a skill that we can further develop. In this fully revised and updated edition, the authors describe various theories of creativity, personality traits, programs, processes, and products that foster creativity. Filled with examples and practical suggestions, this exciting book describes parenting for creativity, teaching organizational skills, and ways to preserve and enhance one's own creativity.
