How to cultivate baby's creativity

Creativity begins with dissatisfaction. Encourage children not to be satisfied with reality. In daily life, parents should encourage children to think actively and independently, not to follow others blindly, not to blindly believe in others, to take the initiative to explore, to think about problems from multiple angles and aspects, to look at things, to discover the shortcomings of things, to dare to explore and research and express unique insights. Focus on cultivating children's independence. Believe in your children and let them do things within their ability. When children encounter difficulties, encourage and inspire them to find ways to overcome and solve them, but do not take over their responsibilities.

Creativity begins with questions. Guide children to ask questions bravely. Parents should be good at guiding children to discover and ask questions. Children who like to ask "why" are the best time to learn. When facing children's "why", parents know that they should answer patiently, but in fact the best way is to ask children their own answers first, so that they have the opportunity to think first, rather than passively accepting information. Parents can continue to ask new questions based on their children's answers, thereby guiding children to discover more ideas and find answers step by step. Creativity is nurtured in countless questions of children.

How to cultivate children's imagination

Creation comes from imagination. Rich imagination is the wings of creation, and it is the foundation and indispensable condition for children's creative learning and creative activities. Imagination is a kind of image thinking, which is based on the image of memory, and is a psychological process of processing and transforming the image of memory to form a new image. In the process of creation, children must first take imagination as the guide. Without imagination, there is no intention to create, and it is impossible to create. Wise parents always further inspire their children based on their imagination and guide them to realize their creative ideas. For example, pictures, scenery, music, text, etc. can be provided to guide children to develop associations; children can also be provided with the cause of the story, so that children can infer the process and result of the story, or provide the ending of the story, inspiring the cause and plot of the imagination story, or changing the angle to adapt the story, etc. In addition, it is also very important to provide children with appropriate books and toys. Although children are too young to read, the colorful and beautiful pictures in the book are still attractive to children. Parents can read with their children, explain the content of the book, and help children imagine themselves as characters in the book, so that they can experience everyone's feelings.

Creativity is unique and novel. If children can ask unusual and unexpected questions and answer novel ideas, this is their preciousness. Therefore, parents should not kill their children's creativity too early. They should find out what makes their children different and praise and encourage their novel ideas and imagination. They should accept their children's logical view and not ask them to get used to the thinking structure of adults. Since they have not been influenced by too many social values, their imagination is wild and unconstrained. Parents should try to appreciate their children's creativity and encourage them to express their own ideas.

Successful creation requires a lot of practice. Encourage children to try boldly. Stimulate children's interest in learning and help them develop good habits of thinking hard, questioning and taking action. To arouse their enthusiasm for creation and invention, let them do more small experiments and inventions, so that they can draw inferences from other cases and gain the courage and confidence to create achievements.

How to stimulate children's interest

Interest is the best teacher. The stronger the child's interest, the more it can fully mobilize his creative thinking activities. Children are lively and active by nature. They play with water, sand, catch ants, catch butterflies, play games, etc. These spontaneous interests are the basis for children to understand society and nature. Parents should take their children to nature more often, see more, listen more, satisfy their interests, and lay the foundation for the development of their creativity. At the same time, cherish children's curiosity. Because curiosity is the nature of children, it is also the driving force for them to explore the mysteries of knowledge. The stronger the curiosity, the richer the imagination, and the higher the creativity. Children are curious about many things and want to understand everything. Newton repeatedly explored the principle of apple falling because he was curious about it, and later discovered the law of "universal gravitation". Watt was amazed by the fact that the lid of the pot was lifted by water vapor when he was a teenager, and finally invented the steam engine. Therefore, parents should guide children to think boldly and allow them to try creatively.

When children need to give gifts to others, parents should encourage them to make gifts themselves instead of buying them, such as New Year cards, small holiday crafts for birthday cards, etc. These small gifts are novel and unique, full of deep friendship and good wishes.

Let the children host small family banquets by themselves. Parents allow their children to invite their neighbors and classmates to host family banquets. The layout, decoration and beautification of the room are designed by the children themselves. The children also go to the supermarket to buy the food and food for the banquets. The children also cook with their mothers and give artistic names to the dishes they make. Through these small banquets, children learn social etiquette and life skills, and also cultivate creative thinking ability.

They create their own space on the wall; some decorate it with photos and pictures of cars, airplanes, planets or pets, and some write famous quotes, mottos or ideals in artistic words. Parents encourage children to draw imaginative and science fiction paintings, the more whimsical the better.
