Some children are naturally born creative. Some are not. But that’s not to say that creativity cannot be developed or Edward De Bono would be out of business. If you were to give some children some generic toys such as building blocks, or semi-circular donut rings or octagonal building puzzles, some kids would only build buildings, donuts or rows/towers. Yet some kids, the ones who are naturally creative, will build dinosaurs and airports and flowers and giraffes and tractors and what have you, the world is really at their fingertips. Never mind if the dinosaur looks like a car, never mind that the cat looks like a pizza; the important thing is that your child’s top right brain is working.

And please, never say when your child tells you that this is his fart, “Oh! But it looks like a building!”

Say, “What an amazing fart you’ve built! I never knew fart looked like that!”

When you give a child some Lego that comes in a boat box, depending on their age, your child will immediately follow the picture or instructions to build the Lego boat, but if your child were naturally creative, he would take it apart to build something else, OR metamorphosize his boat into a torpedo land boat that ejaculates strawberries when hungry. A doll’s house doesn’t have to be JUST a doll house, your creative child would make it an army defense zone or use it as storage for his special notes.

When you do have younger children, there is a tendency to ‘teach’ the child how to play a given toy. NEVER DO THAT. Children INSTINCTIVELY know how to play. Adults have a tendency to ‘teach’ young children what the real world looks like, feels like, is. But by doing that, we immediately kill any chance of creative development. For example, if a child built a car and it had only 3 wheels, and the adult ‘corrects’ the child by adding on the 4th wheel then reinforces the idea that cars are supposed to have 4 wheels, not 3. The adult is in effect inhibiting the child’s natural creative juice. Who says a car can’t have 3 wheels??? How do you know that your child wouldn’t be THE pioneer in inventing the first car with 3 wheels??

Even when it comes to drawing, allow your child to draw square clouds and purple people. That is HIS interpretation of the world. Leave him to it. It could be his dream and who are we to quell that dream? That dream that could really one day turn into reality. Yes, we could and would really have a pink sea one day!

She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
