Responding to the creativity of children

Everyone basically has the creative talent, although every person is different in kind and talent possessed degrees or levels of talent it possesses. One thing that is important is that in terms of education, creative talent can be enhanced, and therefore need to be nurtured from an early age. When the creative talent is not nurtured the talent will not develop, even a hidden talent, which can not be realized.

To understand creativity in children, there is one that must distinguish creativity from intelligence and talent. Ward (1974) states about the creativity of children can be distinguished from cognitive ability. Recent studies indicate that the components of creative potential can be distinguished from intelligence (Moran, 1983). The term "gifted" is often used to represent children who have high intelligence. Wallach (1970) argues that "the intelligence and creativity is not bound to one another, and a very creative child could have his intelligence is not high." Creativity not only in music, art, or writing, but also in science, social science and other fields.
For children, creativity is focused on process: the creation of ideas. Proceeds from the number of adults in the ideas that are not evaluative atmosphere will help children generate more ideas or to move to the next step, self-evaluation. When children develop the ability to self-evaluation, quality issues and manufacturing products become more important. The emphasis at this age are exploring their abilities to generate and evaluate hypotheses, and revise their ideas based on the evaluation. Evaluation by others and the measures for products with important fact used only juvenile or adult children who are older.
