Always have loved spending time with young children. Now don't get the wrong idea. I am happy interacting with kids. Mental interaction - verbal interaction. Have enjoyed it more since I have grown some. As a young child myself - I was less comfortable with my peers. I'm not sure I really enjoyed being a Patrol in 6th grade.
As a father of young kids - was thrilled to watch them grow - help them explore the universe - learn with open eyes - willing to believe. Liked to play with them - still do - although as teen age young women - it is less cool for them to play as they used to as toddlers and much less cool to play with the old man - especially in public.
Had a chance to play with my nephews and nieces this weekend. My nephew is full of creative thinking - of possibilities.
Recently watch a TED talk on creativity - highlighting how a design agency provided lots of play tools to stimulate creativity and empower building - making new connections, constructions- seeing things in a new light - for its design and creative teams.
Reminded again of the power of open minds in making creative connections. Remember the power of play in creativity!
