Whatever the creative potential of children, they will not bear fruit unless they are surrounded by a warm supportive environment that reveals and guides these abilities and helps them grow and develop. All children are born and have creative abilities, but it is up to us to provide a supportive environment for children's creative efforts.
"The psychologist Carl Rogers says:" People need two conditions if they want to do creative work: psychological security, psychological freedom. The child's sense of psychological security results from three interrelated processes:
1. Accepting the child as an individual of unconditional value, and believing in the child regardless of his present state.
2. Avoid external evaluation, support self-evaluation.
3. Sympathy with the child, trying to see the world from his point of view, understanding and acceptance.
An adult who instructs a child, whether a parent or teacher, to tell the child, "I do not like your behavior," but he has to be careful to use some of the same words as "You are bad, wrong, lazy". Although the difference between the two methods is accurate, and may not be noticed by some, but it is central to the environment of creativity, there is a difference between to evaluate or criticize the child's behavior, and to criticize or evaluate it is the same, we have already stated that we must accept the child as it is Conditions.
The child's creative ability feeds on the positive and warm approval of important adults in his life. Children tend to create for those who love.
Freedom of mind strengthens creativity by allowing free speech in children. Children must feel safe enough to experiment with new things, and be given the freedom to do so within limits, so that their freedom is not an obstacle to the freedom of others. In an environment conducive to creativity, adults and children appreciate the originality rather than the ideas of others, and also appreciate different ideas rather than similarities. One of the practices that supports creativity is self-promotion that seeks to experiment and not self-seeking to protect itself.
