Some people are born with talent in certain areas such as the eye in an artist, a beautiful voice, the writer with the words… but we are all responsible for knowing what our talent is. Parents will have an obligation to know what their children's talents are through observation.
Although not everyone is born with talent, we are all born with creativity and creativity is trained.

There are studies examining creativity where researchers started by assuming that children recommended by their art teachers were more creative and would be artists. But they were wrong. The most eccentric children, the most disorganized and the worst in class were the most creative of all, but they had their full potential asleep.
Parenting at home and how to encourage creativity is key for children to learn to be creative, and the best ... enjoy being them and getting the best of themselves. So, then do not miss the following keys that you need to know to enhance innate creativity -which already has- your child.
Do not be afraid of the boredom of your children
Parents often respond to children's boredom by providing structured activities or technological entertainment, they think that boredom is negative ... when the reality is totally positive and helps children to train their minds, develop their imagination and enhance their creativity . Unstructured time challenges children to interact with themselves and with the world, to imagine, to invent and to create. Children need the practice of enjoying unstructured time or they will never learn to manage it - and they will become anxious or disorganized adults.
Also, children need empty time to explore in their inner world and also outside, as this is the beginning of creativity. So how should you respond when children complain that they are getting bored? Help them brainstorm possible activities, but Let it be clear at all times that it is he who must find a way to enjoy his own time.
It is necessary to offer them healthy alternatives and avoid above all the television function or screens as a means of entertainment all the time. Children who use screens for entertainment are more likely to get bored than other children. Even after breaking the screen habit, it can take a long time for you to be able to find other activities that make you feel good and develop your creativity.
Cleanliness is overrated
Maybe you are one of the parents who are cleaning their children's hands all the time so that they do not stain at home or who hide the painting tools just so that they do not dirty where they should not ... maybe you live in a home with too many rules and you do not allow Have your children think outside of what you tell them all the time. Children who live in homes with an overly rigorous approach to cleaning will be less creative children. Decisions can cause problems… and being child and creative too, but they are good problems!
Beware of limits
Children who are always facing inflexible limits at home will be putting their creativity to sleep for a long time. Babies and young children need to learn about safety issues, this is necessary. But otherwise, It is important that children see the world around them as a place full of possibilities and not as a dangerous place to be feared.
Why don't you let your child empty a shelf or kitchen cabinet? Then you can pick it up with him and teach him the value of order. Why don't you let your child paint with a brush? It allows a place in the home for you to capture all your art.
The game is a process, do not hold them back
When kids perform their art to get positive feedback from adults, sometimes they can't wait to finish it. It is not important how many pictures children make, but how they are engaged in the process. If you tell the children that they are doing a good job and that there is no need to run to finish it, they will not only await your approval but will also be aware of their feelings as they draw and what the final result will be like once they are done.
Let your child be different
Original children are often seen as 'different' children because they depart from the 'norm' established as 'normal' in society. It doesn't matter if your child wants to be a little out of step with the norms set in his peer group. To be unique, you have to see the world differently. To develop individuality, your child needs your support against the pressures of popular culture.
You may have to face your own fears about being or not being 'popular' in the eyes of others. Do not worry, each one is as it is and in many cases those labeled as 'rare' are the most successful in the future.
