Why You Need to Think Like a Kindergartner

Advice that’s not just for artists, but for all creative people: think like a kindergartner. From the Atlantic article, “Everyone Was an Artist in Kindergarten:”

“It’s not just a fear of failure, [author Tom] Kelley said. It’s a fear of being judged. . . . Everyone is innately creative, [his book] posits; creators are just people who act. And, of course, WRITINGthey don’t always succeed.”

Kelley’s book is entitled Creative Confidence.

And here’s a related article: “The Benefits of Failing at French” which addresses the difficulties so many older people have when trying to learn a new language. Guess what? We’ll do better if we think like a kindergartner!
