Fostering Creativity




The Early Years Podcast show

Summary: Creativity is a skill that we can cultivate. As adults, our creativity allows us to explore self expression in the arts, cooking, gardening, writing, and work. As adults in the workplace, creativity allows us to develop new thoughts, ideas, products, and systems because we can view problems with a variety of possible outcomes and work through until we find the solution. How do we develop creativity? As with so many things, the foundation of our creativity lies in our childhood.
