Everyone Can Be Creative

Children will try anything. They paint because it is fun to paint. They do not judge what they have done. It is not about that. They may decide to build something and are excited because they built it, not because of how it turned out.
If you can remember back to when you were little and did these things you will remember you did them because it was fun.

They are less likely to undertake creative endeavors because they do not make them feel successful.
