All Children are Born CreativeAll Children are Born Creative
When kids grow to become children at the age of 7 to 12 years, they too have a lot of imaginations. They continued to amaze me with their wild thoughts. And again none have complained to me that they can’t think of anything to create. None at all.

But in reality, when the kid grows up, he only uses less than 10% of what he has learned in school.
Most of the things a child use when he grow up is, common sense.
The rest of it are things which he will find out as he grows up or when necessary.
Because things change all
the time. That’s the reality.

All Children Are Born CreativeAll Children Are Born Creative
I strongly believe all kids are born with a potential mind to be creative.
Parents and teachers must recognize this and help them to develop to their full potentials.
