Is Raising a Creative Child Important in Today’s World?

Look at the wonder in her eyes. Here at Let’s Lasso the Moon one of our favorite quotes is:

Let’s encourage divergent thinking, instead of convergent thinking; innovation instead of standardization.  Grab your child’s interest while it’s hot.  Let your child follow their interest wherever that passion leads, however quickly it leads them regardless of what other children their age are working on.  Give your children a lifetime love of learning.  See the light in your child’s eyes. {Quote Source}

How can we as parents create an environment to raise creative thinkers? I am excited to share a tool that will help you build a creative environment by using intentional language and nurturing mistakes.

Jillian over at Mom with a Lesson Plan has taken her degree in Early Childhood Education and 10 years experience as a preschool teacher and written an eBook Raising a Creative Kid:  Simple Strategies for Igniting and Nurturing that Creative Spark.  I was fortunate enough to steal 5 minutes of Jillian’s time for a quick question:

Why is raising a creative kid
important in today’s world?

She replied, “Creativity means having the confidence that you will be able to find an answer, whatever the situation might be. While using creativity can be fun, relaxing, and profitable I think the bottom line is that being creative makes you a problem solver. If we think of creativity as problem solving, it’s easy to see why creativity in our kids is so important. Since it is impossible to know what situations or opportunities will be presented to our kids, we want them to be prepared to creatively handle anything that may come along.”

This online resource will help you explore ways to bring creativity into your everyday lifestyle with ease. The book is broken down into exercises with use materials that are cheap or free. We are excited to have the opportunity to give away a free copy of Raising a Creative Kid this week. Simply enter for a chance to win below! Or order a copy for yourself today.
