Get Creative for a Cause
Nurture both creativity and empathy.
Nurturing creativity in our children isn't just fun and games. There is a parallel between the development of imagination and the development of empathy. When we can understand how someone else is feeling and how they might experience life differently, we can search for innovative ways to help.
Creativity in its many forms will inspire children to approach problem solving in new ways, which will help them navigate the many roads to kindness in our complex society. Below are activities for fostering creativity and kindness in your family.
