Children
come into this world with insatiable curiosity, a magnificent
imagination, and creativity as unique as their fingerprints. Creativity
is one of those gifts that I believe God has given us, since He created
us “in His image.” It can open the door to all of the treasures and
abilities that He placed within us.
Some children
will be more interested in the great outdoors, while others will want to
read any book within reach. Others will struggle with handwriting,
while taking your breath away with their pencil sketches along the
margins of their journal.
There are many kinds of interests that can help reveal gifts and talents. You may follow some interests around the world and back again, only to discover that what they were most interested in at the age of five (fireman) is exactly what they will pursue as they reach adulthood.
As I look back
at some of my favorite homeschooling mementos from over the years, I am
stunned at how creative our children were in such unique ways. I learned so much right along with them, and the importance of letting them be creative was one of my most important lessons. Relax and encourage their creativity. You’ve got room to roam with them, and plenty to explore!
Blessings,
