Hi, Im a little stuck on this question and wonder if anyone can give me a few ideas
3.3 Explain the importance of encouraging carers to support chidren and young people's creative activities

I have written about providing good support and resources, role modelling ways of thinking and creating encourages children to use their imaginations, solve problems and see things in different ways. Also explained about the different types of creativity eg music, drama, art, writing.
Got my work back and it wasn't quite what my tutor was looking for, any suggestions please

Parents and carers are a child's one constant. They have ongoing opportunities to support children in their creativity and creative learning which fills the gap between what goes on in professional, regulated establishments and what goes on in children's home environments. Parent's aprproach and feelings towards creative activities are what will engage or disengage children from wanting to explore freely - children are susceptible to the feelings parents express about different activities and will be aware that there are particular aspects or whole activities that please and cause upset to their parents/carers, this has the potential to inappropriately influence what they choose to do or the type of interests that they elect to follow. Messy play may cause problems where time is needed for cleaning up and equipment/furniture/flooring can become damaged or stained. Professionally, messy play is known to be an effective, open ended way for children to learn holistically, through tactile and sensory participation.

Hope this helps xx
