I am telling you right now that I'm not a perfect mom and I will not strive to be one. One thing for sure, I am a type of mom who knows her kid like a back of her hand even if I have multiple jobs. Yes, getting to know your kids doesn't need 24 hours to happen, you only need to spend time (not just time, but QUALITY time), get to know them well on what tickles them, what makes them sad or happy!
Whenever I post on IG stories activities I do with my son Kyle Nash, a lot of the followers would comment on how lucky I am that Kyle is smart and creative. One thing that I want to clarify is that, creativity is not inborn. As much as there are "inborn talents", creativity can be nurtured and it is actually a skill that we can help our child develop - that's according to a child therapist.
I for one, is not an intelligent person, but because my mom gave me all the chances to be creative during my younger years (blackboard, chalk and loads of paper!), I can say I'm more of a flexible person who can deal with challenges on various situations and I actually use how my mom raises us to be a "Peg" on what type of mom I will be.
With our fast-paced life with the help of technology, how do I encourage Kyle to be creative in his own way? Here are just FEW of the things I do that seem to work!
