Giving kids space to be creative and make mistakes.
In the episode Angela Lockwood shares the process she went through with a group of boys who have Autism in designing a game for a fellow student who is non-verbal for use on her eye-gaze device. Angela shares why it's essential to give kids the space to be creative and make mistakes. As adults finding the balance between supporting and taking over is a fine line. When we step back a little and let our kids know we are there when they need us and they are supported in their creativity and curiosity magical things can happen.
We can empower creativity in kids by getting out of the way through;
✨ Unleashing imagination
✨ Embrace mistakes
✨ Turn creativity into confidence
