5.9.1 Fostering Creativity from Age 0 to 8
Research shows that a child is greatly influenced by parents. Teachers as well influence a child’s thought process and mindset formation. However, a lack of insight into child development by their caretakers and teachers deprives many children of their innate potential to expand their talents. In-depth knowledge of brain development, multiple intelligences, and other pedagogical strategies can help all children enjoy learning and realize their potential.

Left Engineering to take up education. Students made me take up Gifted Education and completed my Masters at NRCGT, UCONN under Renzulli where I formulated the idea of CREATING Giftedness in every child. My model of schooling has been accredited by LWF-UNESCO as a world model. I established a school of my own in Bangalore and today it is a real model for the world. Would like to share my vision and experience with all. Howard Gardner was highly impressed with the work we are doing.
