It's not just being artistic - a creative person finds solutions by emulating the approach of young children
When do you have your best ideas? Most of us do when we're away from distractions - walking the dog, taking a shower, or gazing from a train window. Turning a 'good idea' into a reality is the sign of a creative individual, and easier to achieve when we let external demands and distractions give way to inner creative ability.
Children become creative when they're given the space and opportunity to explore, experiment, imagine and construct. If they are given the right props and environment to encourage this, they create all kinds of ideas, stories, games and problem-solving approaches.
As adults we should re-kindle a childlike capacity to be creative and develop knowledge of how to turn ideas into different and stimulating ways of working and providing. This in turn can provide children with a good role model.
