Dancing Today?

kidsdance.jpgHas your child danced today? Invented something? Painted? This morning I listened to an interesting presentation given in 2006 at the TED conference by Sir Ken Robinson. You can view it here: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/66. Aside from being very entertaining, this “creativity expert” discusses how schools “educate people out of creativity.” You don’t have to do that to your children! You have a major role in finding your child’s unique talents and cultivating them. Unlike many public school teachers, you and your child have the gift of time. While you may feel the pressure of the curriculum and all you need/want to accomplish by the end of the year, you are in charge! Make time for dancing!
