Anyone can and is creative. What is the “poblem” if you will is that institutionalized requirements do not recognize creativity where and when it is found, but instead channel it into regimented curriculum. When I was in elementary school, my art teacher told me I had no talent and was not creative. It took me until adulthood to break free from believing what that hack said. It is true I do not have talent for drawing, but I am an extremely creative person. I say nurture your son when he expresses creativity and help in areas where he needs help.
