in #steempress6 years ago (edited)

In today's world, creativity is highly valued. Today's creative professions are among the most sought-after and goal-oriented people, who always find their way of life for the successful realization of their creative potential. All children are talented and capable by nature.

They are by nature curious and eager to learn. All that is needed is intelligent leadership on the side of adults, so that parents, mothers, grandmothers and grandparents help to open and develop these skills and talents.

Unfortunately, many parents do not consider creativity an important component of their children's education, development and training. They prefer to emphasize and prioritize the child's speech, thinking and memory, sometimes forgetting imagination and creativity altogether. Of course, the first three points are very important for each child, but creativity can not be completely excluded.

Where to start


Sometimes, you can observe an image when an adult draws an object, or simply show the child an image and express the name of the object that is displayed. The baby sees it in a peculiar way. To the girl a machine looks like a garden dog, and the teapot looks like a fish.

But an adult asks the child to remember the correct name from the parents' point of view. The father tries to teach his son the social perception and understanding of things, and ignores the fact that the child belongs to the world in a creative way.

The father needs to change himself, in the first place, to develop the child's creative potential. Modern adults can not play, they want to look serious, instead of having fun.

They are afraid to break the social rules of behavior. However, this is an excellent therapeutic tool that can provide the opportunity to relax and be inspired: it is a game, creativity, fantasy free flight.

The rigidity and the excessive seriousness of the parents are not the best helpers for the development of the creative capacities of the child. Learn to play children's games, do not be afraid to become a child for a while, play pranks and have fun, sometimes break the rules of adult behavior on behalf of your child.

This will not only help you to be closer to your child and contribute to their development, but it will also become a good psychotherapy that will allow you to relax, get distracted, relieve tension and stress. Compose fairy tales, poems, invent animals and non-existent plants with your child, support their creative initiatives.

For the development of creative skills, it is necessary to create conditions for conscious and active participation in creative activities, it is important to look for creative techniques, to train and improve and perfect knowledge and basic skills, its variable use in any lesson. The main thing is to create a general atmosphere of creativity and joy.
"Children are always eager to do something." This is very useful and, therefore, not only must interfere with this, but we must take measures to ensure that they always have something to do. "
Often, parents who have children in middle and high school notice that, as they mature, their smart child becomes more common. Of course, he is becoming more intelligent, acquiring more and more knowledge, but he is losing the intensity of the impressions, the originality of the judgments. Undoubtedly, the task of parents is not to allow the child to lose the ability to fantasize, to think in an original way. It is very important not to waste your time!

The training must be victorious! A special role in this is played by making comments that stimulate students' work and instill self-sufficiency. "Good!", "Well done".

Creation of conditions in the family for the development of the child's creative abilities.


If you want to educate a creative person and at the same time not forget about the mental health of your children, then:

  • Be tolerant of strange ideas, respect the curiosity, questions and ideas of the child. Try to answer all the questions, even if they seem wild or "beyond the limits".
  • Leave the child alone and allow him, if he wishes, to take care of his own affairs. Excessive support can impede creativity.
  • Help him cope with disappointment and doubt when left alone in the process of his colleagues' incomprehensible creative quest: let him retain his creative impulse, find the reward in himself, and care less for others to recognize him.
  • Find words of support for the new creative efforts of the child. Avoid criticizing the first experiments, no matter how unsuccessful. Treat them with sympathy and warmth: the child seeks to create not only for himself, but also for those he loves.
  • Help your child ... sometimes rely on risk and intuition to learn: this is very likely to help make a real discovery.

Tips to organize the creative work of children at home.

1.When discussing a creative task with a child, take a position

• Same: "I wonder what you think of this?"

• below: "Your decision is certainly better than mine", "You know better than me how to perform this task".

2.Show a sincere interest in the child's decision, even if you think it does not deserve your attention, absurd or stupid: "I like your job, because ...

3.When evaluating the work done by your child, show its advantages and disadvantages: "This is good, because ..., this is bad, because ...". Even a failed answer can be useful: show the direction of further development.

4.If possible, help your child make decisions.

Tasks for the development of creative thinking:
✂ Take colorful geometric shapes of plastic, wood (or make yourself out of cardboard) and invite your child to make as many stylized images as possible. Examples of images that can be folded from simple geometric shapes

✂ The next task is, in many ways, similar to the previous one: from paper cones, cylinders and other elements, try to create as many figures of people and animals as possible.

✂ Stock up on old illustrated magazines and bright fabrics. Cut out the illustrations in magazines and pieces of cloth in different ways with the child. Now stick the shapes on a piece of cardboard and get a collage. All this is creative work, but the main task is: "Find as many similarities between the real objects as possible."

✂ Offer to drop any paint in the middle of the sheet and fold the sheet in half. They were different points; Children imagine what images come out of the result and how they look.



Source
✂ In the presence of children, a thread 30-40 cm long should be immersed in paint and placed on a sheet of paper, rolled randomly. Place another sheet on top of the thread and press down. Pull the thread, holding the leaves. A trace will remain on the paper of the thread; Children are invited to identify and name the resulting image.

✂ Give the child a sheet with several points, ask him to form an image and then explain.



[Own image]
✂ Give any sequence of images, example: (two men standing, two men running, three trees, a house, a bear, a fox, a princess, etc.). The child is asked to make up a fairy tale from the images.

There is an infinite number of games and similar exercises on the web, everything depends only on the creative imagination of parents who have set a goal to help their child grow to be a successful, creative and gifted person.
