The Irony of Creativity

There is no definition for creativity.

Just like the word, there are no limits to its definition. Nor are there suitable words to describe it.

There are no boundaries. 

There are no rules.

There is no frame, 
no packaging, 
no strings, 
no set time period, 
no set place, 
no set feeling 
or mental state. 

The irony, of course, is, I've just created a definition.

What is the relationship between creativity and a child's development in ECE ?    Creative children should be viewed as national as sets.  As Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, stated , " the ECE educator needs creative individuals who will not settle for givens, but instead strive to fulfill themselves while making the world a better place live for all people" (p.20).
