In my case, I allow my child to try different things. The word ‘identifying’ means, picking one amongst many. So let your child explore what comes his way and as a parent, you should observe what he is interested in.
However, creativity does not always imply to be good at arts. Creativity is a broad subject, which includes different thinking abilities, special abilities, problem-solving attitude, decision-making ability, leading ability, and a lot more.
So, do not worry about the mess which you have to witness in order to enhance creativity in children at your home and support them for what they do. But yet again, there should be certain parameters that a child should abide by.
Did you learn the first alphabet of your won? No, because we need guidance to learn new things. What matters is proper guidance. When a mother teaches her child the English alphabets, she utters the sound of each letter and then let her child follow. After a few days, she stops uttering the word herself and lets her child pronounce it of her own. The same way limited guidance also plays an important role while encouraging creativity.
Our child still needs our involvement, but we should understand where to stop without being overprotective.
