the importance of creativity for teachers and therapists
What if these quotes are right?
- "We should remember that there is no creativity in the child if there is no creativity in the adult. The competent and creative child exists if there is a competent and creative adult" (Carla Rinaldi in Gandini et al, 2005, p. 172).
- "Children's creativity is dependent on the creativity and openness of the teacher" (Kind, in Springgay et al 2008. p 169
Perhaps it is the responsibility of the therapist and the teacher, the educator and the healer, to embrace their own creativity in order to awaken the creativity of their students and their clients.
