Whoever said play equals fun?
Children are the ultimate role models when it comes to creativity and how to engage with the world.
How they inspect blocks from every angle,
build towers without expectations,
make them crumble with joy.
And we can learn from how they deal with challenges and obstacles.
If a two-year-old tries to assemble train tracks, frustration is inevitable.
Yet the fascinating part is: the harder the challenge and the higher the frustration, the bigger the excitement when they solve it.
The same goes for any creative act—it’s full of peaks and valleys.
Let our kids be our mentors and relearn that frustration isn’t the enemy.
It’s the precondition for excitement.
