DD (5.5) is compulsively creative. She is driven to make things from first thing in the morning until last thing at night. She starts off cutting and sticking before breakfast, takes a break to go to school, and then needs a lot of persuading to stop to go to bed at night. She's been like this since she was about 3, although she needed more help then - she once had me making a bikini for Pingu at 6.30am.
Not being in the least bit creative myself I find it hard to understand her creative urges. I think she takes after DH who is very creative, and is also always making things. I'm pleased she's so creative but it's the compulsive bit that concerns me slightly - the house is bursting at the seams with her creations.
Has anyone else had any experience of this? And if so where will it end.
