An intuitive child who is quiet tends to observe people, watching actions and reactions, sometimes reading energy of feelings and emotions. If your child’s tendency is to the quiet end, then the daydreamer with creative, artistic talent may be churning through ideas or music in their thoughts. The focus could be on their inner world. This is the loner or a child who tolerates small groups and may enjoy the family pet or nature walks better than other playmates. They have an artistic flare and don't always like being interrupted "to go outside and play."
The creative child can be a daydreamer rather than easily distracted and labeled ADD. Recently, an eight-year old named Linda told me that her teacher made her stand in a corner of the classroom after an art lesson in which she was to draw Abraham Lincoln. She drew the President as an older man with white hair and beard, and this creativity was unacceptable. Her picture didn't look like Abraham Lincoln, and she was punished for her creativity. Another budding artist nipped in the bud!
Is it any wonder a creative child would rather stare out the window or daydream? If you have a creative, intuitive, or artistic child, give them some time for creativity, daydreaming, and exploring the inner universe of their imagination. Does your creative like to write, draw, sketch, paint, act, or photograph or creates scenes from life?
The creative intuitive can have an artistic temperament that bursts to express. Daydreaming and exploration of artistic mediums are a priority for these kids, more so than the development of social skills or in some cases, academic grades. Classrooms of rote learning are boring for the creative child, and they tend to thrive in areas where they can express and receive feedback, and then create and express that creation again.
