      Feedback from a Parent

      Hi Dr. YKK

      I'm Azlina from Kuching, Sarawak. I have bought and read your book- Nurturing Creative Children. The book has helped me a lot in discovering my children's hidden side. Now, I see them differently and have learnt to accept their mischievous behaviors as 'normal' and part of learning in the growing up process. But the section on - In Praise Of Black Sheep in particular has been an eye opener to me.

      I have an eight year old partially sighted daughter and she's the black sheep of the family! She is very vocal, stubborn, violent sometimes and always getting at everybody’s nerves. Before I read your book, punishment seems to give temporary solutions in dealing with her unacceptable behaviors. Now, I realized that I shouldn't. But, I believe in being late than never tried at all. I've tried as suggested in your book, praising her when she behaved well or did something good and it works Wonders!

      She has changed from a difficult child to the good child. She hugs me and says thank you to even the smallest things that I did for her, like reading a bedtime story or pouring her favorite juice into a glass. I talk to her more often and I now constantly tell her that she is special to me and that I love her just like I love her sisters. She’s now more open in expressing her feelings towards the family members and the teachers at her special school have also noticed the changes in her.

      Through your book also, I have discovered that I have a dreamer and a discoverer at home and my dreamer is an extra sensitive child. So, any coming book on how to handle an extra sensitive child? Again, I would like to thank you for sharing these information with the society. I believe many have benefited from your writing. Your book, written in a straight-forward and simple language provides great insights into my children's world. The activities are great too and my children love most of them.

      The book has touched me deeply and has certainly made me a better mother - to value the God given treasures and not to take them for granted! Congratulations And Thank You Once Again.

      UNESCO on Creativity

      All human beings have a need and a capacity to create. From weaving to websites, they seek outlets for artistic self-expression and for contributing to the greater community. The encouragement of creativity from an early age is one of the best guarantees of growth in a healthy environment of self-esteem and mutual respect, critical ingredients for building a culture of peace.

      But creativity does not occur in a vacuum. It must be nurtured, allowed the freedom to exist and grow legally protected, and it must not be repressed or censored. UNESCO seeks to foster a social and legal environment that is conductive to creative activity and critical thinking in all its forms. It encourages both individual creativity, with its roots in traditional or popular culture, and industrial creativity, which draws its force from social and economic institutions that stimulate market activity and innovation.
