Raising Creative Kids

When choosing a nanny, creativity may not be at the top of your list of qualifications a nanny must possess, but maybe it should be! Creativity and the ability to problem solve is very much linked. Creativity develops the sorting and selecting functions that lead to higher cognitive development in children. An experienced nanny knows that children do in fact have the attention span and focus when engaged in projects that excite them! A nanny is someone who has the ability to draw out this imagination and encourage creative pursuits in children. Creativity has been shown to wildly  improve brain development in children.

“Given the impact on brain development that early experiences have, it is not surprising that several studies have uncovered significant long-term impacts of creative environments. They highlight how creative activities that encourage positive relationships can support the rapid blooming of synapses, leading to the formation of well-rounded personalities, good attachment, self-esteem and better mental health.”
