There are children who like to dress up and theatrical performances. And someone enthusiastically enters the ground and builds from leaves and clay. Children constantly try to discover what interests them.

Do not think that your child is not able to be creative. Most likely, you still haven't found the occupation that will really interest you.

2. Creative schedule

One of the most important conditions for creative education is to reserve time for creativity. Find at least 10-15 minutes on weekdays and one or two hours on weekends to enjoy with your child drawing, singing or anything else.

Plan a family routine for short creative games: play dinner at the table during dinner; Make up a story together before bedtime.

3. Creative corner

Every creative person needs their own space. Create a "creative corner" at home where the child can find everything necessary for creativity.

Put something that can arouse your imagination: corks, sparkles, glue, threads, multicolored wire, beads, colored paper ... If you do not have a single free space in your home (The magic box), a box or a shelf can play the role of a "creative corner".

4. Be tolerant with a little mess

Children love the mess, and it is important to allow them to fix it. Mom and dad come to an agreement: the game is always a disaster. If the children are very strictly controlled, they will not get the joy of the game. So give your inner artist, and your child at the same time, room for disaster.

5. Do not control the child

People who have the opportunity to reveal their childhood skills remain creative people in adulthood. If children are constantly monitored and interfere with their games, they will always doubt their actions.

6. Materials for creativity instead of expensive toys.

There are parents who spend a lot of money on expensive toys for their children, however children often discard these toys to play with the wooden sword that his grandfather made him and fold planes and paper boats.
The point is that fashion toys give much less room for imagination than a child's favorite "play tools."

7. Let's get bored a little

In everyday life, we are often bored. But boredom is not synonymous with stagnation, but quite the opposite. It constantly encourages us to act: if you are bored, it is an indication that it is time to change direction.
When your child complains of boredom, try to avoid the temptation to solve the problem and keep it busy. Give him the opportunity to find something new.

8. Have creative nights
