Many children have an inclination towards one or another type of creative activity.

Some boys and girls draw well, others sing well, and others are good at playing musical instruments.

But the potential may remain unfulfilled. And quite often this situation arises due to the fault of the parents.

What should mom and dad do to ensure that their child fully demonstrates his talent?

Creating a space for creativity

There should be a place where the child can calmly engage in this or that activity.

Does your little one like to draw? Be sure to create a zone in the child's room with lots of albums, paints, pencils, etc.

Encouraging questions

Don't refuse to answer a curious child's questions.

Don't know the right answer? Then find it together with your child.

Don't scold for mistakes

A child who decides to engage in creativity will have many failures. This is inevitable, even if the child is very talented.

Never criticize your child for mistakes they make.

Explain to your son or daughter that there is nothing wrong with making mistakes. In fact, failures can motivate them to continue their activity.
