What Does it Mean To Be a Creative Infant and Toddler Caregiver?
关于成为创意婴儿和幼儿照顾者的一些观点是什么?暂停几分钟来思考这一点。
As you have been working through this course, you likely recognized that creativity is a crucial part of the human experience: It helps us rise to challenges, overcome obstacles, and create opportunities. Creativity is important because it demonstrates openness to new experiences. These experiences include having a good imagination, experiencing and valuing feelings, trying new things based on individual interests, and having a curious mindset (Kaufman, 2009, p.85).
In Lesson One, you had an opportunity to explore some of your own views on creativity. This final lesson will extend on this exploration by encouraging you to think about creativity in your workplace and ask yourself what it means to be a creative infant and toddler caregiver.
