7 Ways to Cultivate Creativity: A Parents Guide
What to know how to cultivate creative thinking skills at home? 7 Ways to Cultivate Creativity is a short ebook for parents who want to learn more about this topic and how they might better nurture Creativity at home. While not getting too deep on the academic theory of Creativity, I’ve still made reference to some of the big ideas on the subject without overly complicating the conversation. My hope is that parents can use the information in this ebook to create the type of environment and opportunities where Creativity can flourish.
