Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking the rules, making mistakes, and having fun," and "The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want." That goes for everybody. We need to promote in our children to be creative and not fear making mistakes. These are the first causes that children in the school system are discouraged from being creative and little by little, they stop using their imagination and thinking outside the box for fear of making mistakes. We, as educators, need to be creative ourselves and encourage our students to do it. Our Traditional educational systems often prioritize conformity and standardized testing over fostering creativity and innovation. As educators, it's essential to create environments where students feel safe to experiment, make mistakes, and think freely. Nurturing creativity is important because we encourage the children to become lifelong learners who will be capable of adapting and even promoting the change that their future deserves.
