Study after study shows that fear and stress are not conducive to creativity or deeper learning — kids and young people need to feel at ease in order to learn.
At the same time, boundaries and clear expectations are vital to cultivating critical thinking and more expansive language and writing skills.
Through prompts, games, music, and other creative methods, I strive to promote an environment that encourages self-confidence, thoughtfulness, and an appreciation for learning.
