What is Self Actualization

Authenticity can be defined as the basic element of a meaningful, unique, and special life. Authentic individuals are the people who are interested in life, open to new experiences, curious and creative in their lives, and enjoy the moment. The basis of the authentic and creative selves in children go back to the early childhood period. The authenticity, creativity, and flexibility of the children are formed not only with the efforts of families but also those of teachers, educators, administrators, and politicians. Adults should stay away from uniform and standard products and activities not to waste their children's valuable time and not to let their children spend time with non-functional and non-artistic activities. It is suggested that adults had better enrich their children's creative visions by giving them various opportunities for authentic experiences. The main purpose of this chapter is to create and increase awareness in people by discussing the importance of the roles of people who are involved in raising children who will contribute to the improvement of the future world.
