Creativity and Development in Childhood

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how creativity in young children can be inspired in many ways. A youngster between the ages of 2 and 7 is naturally curious, with his or her mind inquisitive about everything they come into contact with. The paper further discusses how parents, teachers and caregivers have the ability to promote creative thinking by allowing the child to inquire expand on ideas or associate the item with fantasy. Psychologists believe that when the child is hindered from these abilities the child will eventually stop using his or her creative mind. When this occurs the child lacks the ability to solve complex problems, leading to greater issues in adult life. Therefore, promoting creativity in young children is a healthy approach to letting a child develop cognitively.
