Unit 82 promote creativity and creative learning in young children 1. Understand the concepts of creativity and creative learning and how these affect all aspects of young children’s learning and development. 1.1.

Love and learning starts in the home; it is a known fact that children learn from their environment and what goes on around them. It would be safe to say that a child can pick up on whatever behaviors they see or are being taught involuntarily. School and culture are other factors that impact the lives of children with EBD. Younger children can also catch on to whatever is being presented by other children when they come in contact with them and that is another way of observing and assessing a child with behavioral issues.
