Our definition bypasses the academic debate over whether creativity is more process or product. It is both. When a child thinks creatively, the process is going to manifest itself in some manner. The product may be anything from unintelligible babble to a painting that would rival a Van Gogh.
It is important, however, for parents to focus on the inner process, rather than on its outward results.

Otherwise, creativity will cut off at its roots.
