Be Creative

Creative means having the quality or power of creating. Every individual is creative in his/her own way. It means being original. You produce high quality and genuinely significant ideas or products. It is extremely crucial in fostering children’s creativity. According to UNESCO, “the encouragement of creativity from an early age is one of the best guarantees of growth in a healthy environment of self-esteem and mutual respect — critical ingredients for building a culture of peace.” In the activity above, the children are challenged to use their creative minds to find a creative way to solve the puzzle. Each of them gave their best. Finally, they managed. But how did they do it? We said and asked, “You did it. Can you tell us your secret?” A child responded creatively, “Because we worked together as a team!” How wonderful is that? It is an epic moment to be remembered.

Be Curious

Be curious. That’s the leadership skill of the month. Being curious means eager to learn or know. A child’s curious nature is a quality shared with geniuses, pioneers, and all great creative people to some degree. Being curious has great benefits in propelling young children and even adults to understand themselves, others, and their surroundings well. In the activity above, the children obtain new knowledge about their friends. First, they drew lots from a pouch with a friend’s name on it. Then, they have to think of an intelligent question to ask that particular friend. For example, “Why are you so cute?” The friend too has to answer the question with an intelligent answer. For example, “Because I’m special!” They children did so well. We are very proud of them. Well done, Amazing Leaders!
