Importance of Fostering Creativity in the Lives of our Children

Below is a great video on the importance of cultivating creativity in our children and allowing them to express themselves as they are. I admit that I all too often try to conform the kids to my own mold or expectations, forgetting to allow them to simply be themselves. The video doesn't go into the human-divine co-creative experience that exists on the vertical plane. Creativity is one of God's greatest gifts to humanity, and, one of the most profound and intimate ways to share in the life of God. Furthermore, I would argue that the pinnacle of human creativity is the collaboration with God in creating new life. In that sense, all parents are artists and share in God's creativity.
