Killing Creativity

Insisting that children do things the "right way."
Teaching a child to think that there is just one right way to do things kills the urge to try new ways.
Pressuring children to be realistic, to stop imagining. When we label a childīs flights of fantasy as "silly," we bring the child down to earth with a thud, causing the inventive urge to curl up and die.
Making comparisons with other children. This is a subtle pressure on a child to conform; yet the essence of creativity is freedom to conform or not to conform.
Discouraging childrenīs curiosity. One of the surest indicators of creativity is curiosity; yet we often brush questions aside because we are too busy for "silly" questions. Childrenīs questions deserve respect.
