[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of after-school time to do creative activities. Set up pre-school style arts and crafts opportunities, follow your child's lead in what they like to do--building, baking, sewing? Expose them to traditional creative arts that school no longer teaches. When I was little my sisters and I were always embroidering, sewing, drawing, baking, etc. Just make sure there is enough down-time for this stuff and limit computer time, TV, and too many structured activities. If your kid is good at something, support that. If they like creative writing, buy journals and look for ways they can practice that, have art shows at home, etc. It's fun for them if you get into it too.[/quote]
