As parents, we often strive to provide our children with the best possible foundation for success. We enroll them in extracurricular activities, encourage them to study hard, and guide them towards making good choices. However, in our efforts to shape them into capable individuals, we might inadvertently stifle their creativity. It’s essential to remember that creativity is a vital aspect of a child’s development, and giving them the freedom to explore and express themselves is crucial for their growth.
