Creativity is the ability to think about a task or a problem in a new or different way, or the ability to use the imagination to generate new ideas.
'Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation. Creativity opens the mind. A society that has lost touch with its creative side is an imprisoned society, in that generations of people may be closed minded'.
Being creative means you are open to expressing yourself and investigating the world around you. It can also mean you work to find a new and better way of answering a question or solving a problem.
Children who experience stress may experience health problems and develop a bad attitude toward learning.
The researchers also found that spending too much time on homework meant that students were not meeting their developmental needs or cultivating other critical life skills. Students were more likely to forgo activities, stop seeing friends or family, and not participate in hobbies.
Old one but still quite useful. This is the biggest bottleneck in creativity and innovation in our country as we spend maximum number of hours per week helping kids with homework. Another issue is projects and craft work of almost all school students is done by parents.
