Synopsis

This work aims to demonstrate that creativity is more than a pleasant means to decorate life, it is a way of making life richer and happier. Based on their own experience and on case studies, Dawn and Fred Sedgwick demonstrate how a parent can learn about their child, about the nature of learning, about themselves, as they work through the activities in the book which are designed to prepare children for the National Curriculum and support and consolidate their formal learning. Beginning with mark making and drawing, it progresses to the various ways in which children can be encouraged to expand their writing skills: poetry, fiction, reportage, cartoons, and letters. It also shows how dance, drama and music can enable children to express their emotions and develop their social skills.
