Inside" Children<br /><br />Inside each of us are the children we were at each developmental stage. <br /><br />With regard to our creative dreams, these inside children can prevent us from living them by "acting out" in order to try to get our attention. Your inner 5-year-old is not going to patiently wait as you learn intricate metalworking techniques or study impressionist painting. Yet, your inner 10-year-old may be perfectly suited to learn and observe new skills.<br /><br />What's really needed is parenting of these inside children so that we bring them to age-appropriate activities.
