"Creativity is more of a dull glow than a divine spark- the more fanning it receives, the brighter it will burn." --James Adams "More often than not, children are unevenly gifted, often being especially gifted in one area. It's not uncommon to find them quite gifted in one area, but average or learning disabled in another." --Ellen Winner "Avoid compulsion and let early education be a manner of amusement. Young children learn by games; compulsory education cannot remain in the soul." --Plato "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." --Mark Twain "But when it comes to children, parental involvement is a must. This is because children often won't know they have an interest in something until after their parents bring it to their attention." --John Andersen Excerpted from Nurturing Creative Children: Dr. YKK Quotes 9http://www.penmarin.com/proddetail.asp?prod=YKK03&from=2) by Dr. YKK, Ph.D. (Penmarin Books, http://www.penmarin.com).
