Summary: | Young children are naturally curious and wonderfully imaginative; they constantly ask questions as to how and why things work, as any parent knows. Children use that curiosity and imagination to think effectively and to create in many ways, be that with their minds, in words, songs or stories, with their bodies, in rhythm, dance, movement, games or sports, or with their hands, using paints, pencils, pens, crayons, paper and bits of wood. As Dr. Frances Bond explains, creativity is not a special gift possessed by only a few people it's possessed by everyone in varying degrees. In this program she addresses how creativity develops and what parents can do to nurture their child's creativity. Her guests include Jim Flood, Art Dept. Chair, Towson State University, and Kay Broadwater, an art instructor and mother of four.
