DEVELOPING CREATIVITY

There is no consensus on what makes a child gifted. Certainly it is a combination of a multi-tude of factors: The child’s natural heredity sets an upper limit to his possibilities, but giftedness is not a package given at birth with no hopes of change. It is a growing, becoming process that constantly creates, elaborates and refines itself by selecting, comparing, and organizing life expe-riences (Strang, 1960)
