“Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.” – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Kids today are busier than they ever were earlier and it is all for their own progress and all round development. In the rush of tuition, school, hobby classes, there is no time left to do things that kids will genuinely enjoy. They miss out on physical activities, exploring their skills, creativity and other natural strengths unknown to them and to you as a parent.
