Create a Climate That Encourages Children to Feel Creative

Create a Climate That Encourages Children to Feel Creative.

A climate that encourages creativity is composed of a number of things; keeping anxiety low is key. Keep predictability a high, when children know what is expected of them and the teacher or parent is a reasonable person, they feel secure and so have more energy to devote to the pleasures of creativity. Also you must be able to live with a certain amount of messiness. When children are caught up in the fever of creatings things, their behavior is often somewhat helter-skelter, and it can really interfere with the creative process to insist that self-expressive or play materials be maintained in nearly perfect order all the time.
