Emotional Intelligence – a basis for creativity

Being emotionally intelligent can help our children developing their creativity.  According to Six Seconds (2016):

“People often talk about creativity in terms of artistic expression, and while this is an important manifestation of creativity, it is not the whole picture. For most people, most creativity comes from solving the zillions of problems we all encounter every day.

Ironically, when we most need creativity, we tend to be in an emotional state where creativity is least accessible. Fear and distress activate the limbic system at the base of our brains. This shuts off the cerebral cortex, where creativity and problem-solving live. Love is the antidote to fear and the wellspring of creativity”

So, as you can see, the Emotional Intelligence is basic for our creativity. Here we have a video we have made which explains more concretely what creativity is. We hope you enjoy it!
