Family Influence on Creativity of School Children

Description

Parents are the immediate teachers to the child apart from parental care which they are supposed to provide. One vital area that parents are supposed to play is the identification of various talents that a child is having. Indeed each child is born with lots of potential talents which, if well exploited, could help a child be a useful member of the society and to himself / herself.

This book discusses the immense influence parents have to identify these potential talents. Most parents have believed that talents can only be identified, developed and influenced by the professional teacher. This book is trying to negate that play will always influence the development of these potential talents. The book is organized into four chapters showing how a parent (family) can influence the development and identification of these potential talents. It is the author’s hope that parents will find some useful ideas to help them influence the potential talents that their children have.
