52 WAYS TO GROW CREATIVE CHILDREN BY LISL BARRY
In an era of mounting dependence on television to keep children occupied and stimulated, we seem to have underestimated the tremendous impact of this form of passive engagement on children: physical activity, social interaction and sensory experience are increasingly neglected.
In complete contrast to this,Ways to Grow Creative Childrenis about connecting with your children, spending quality time and growing creatively together. Its about making a stimulating, simple environment in which their physical and mental development will be allowed to flourish at their own pace. Nature can be an endless source of fascination, creative materials and inspiration. You do not have to live in the countryside, be an experienced gardener or be arty to do any of the ideas presented in this book. All you need is the desire to spend meaningful time with your children and a wish that they grow up being in touch with nature.
