CREATIVE HIGHLIGHT Designing an Environment to Foster Your Child’s Creativity Creativity has an array of positive benefits for children and is critical for well-being and proper development. There is no right or wrong way to be creative. Being creative allows children to express themselves, take risks, and try new ideas without (hopefully!) the fear of judgment. It helps children discover their talents, grow confidence, be authentic, think critically, relieve stress, improve problem solving skills, and so much more. BY: Rebecca Eanes 51
