Creative Parenting #3:

What is a creative parent?
Is it someone who fosters a love of the arts, literature, music, dance, or theater in their child? or is a creative parent someone who fosters a love of learning in their child for any subject? Can Mathematicians and Scientists be creative? I would contend that Scientist and Mathematicians are some of the most creative people. It's just a different form of creativity than those who are Artists-visual or performing.
So what is a creative parent?
Is it the parent who has all kinds of projects going on with their kids at the expense of the housework? Is it someone who keeps odd things around the house because they might lead to a teaching moment? Is it someone who purchases paints, glitter, papers to create art? Or someone who plays music for their children, fostering a love of sound? Or is it the parent who wants their child to learn how to think?
