Kids today are more expressive than ever using their creativity in unexpected ways. Whether in their speech, writing, or artistic talent, they are unafraid to experiment. Some parents struggle to balance discipline with allowing their children to explore their passion, but sometimes, these skills can turn into lifelong careers. Recognising and nurturing creativity early can help children develop talents that could shape their future.
