In order to develop creativity in children, their love for learning must be enhanced. To be able to develop creativity in children and that learning is something fun for themThe first thing you will have to keep in mind is that imagination is more important than knowledge. So that knowledge is not limited, they must understand that imagination can help to understand any concept, but you will always have to want to know and understand the things that are in front of you.
There is something beautiful and magical in childhood that must be maintained even as children grow up. LUnfortunately the adult world insists that the little ones stop growing and veto their imagination without realizing the great mistake they make. Creativity, imagination and learning go hand in hand and cannot be separated.
Creativity and the ability to innovate are some of the most important life skills needed to be successful. Especially because the world, as we grow up, becomes flatter, everything goes faster and it seems that competition is becoming too common. So, with this fast-paced society, how can we help our children develop the skills they need to enhance creativity and not get lost on the road to growth?
Playing is the best way to enhance creativity
We all get things better in our minds when we have a good time, that's why play is the best way to develop creativity and enhance learning in children. Also, when we are relaxed and comfortable is when the most inspiring ideas appear in our minds.
Children when they play are doing serious developmental work since they are learning great things. When they draw mom or dad they are enhancing the imagination, if you want to write a story… go ahead! They are fun ways to learn and improve life skills. Social skills and language will help them to have more organized thinking.
Children build their confidence, learn to do good things, innovate and that learning becomes good for them. In this way they will see anything that has to do with learning as something good for them, as something fun ... as a game. Want some ideas to help your kids boost creativity and develop a love of learning? Don't miss the following tips.
Make time for play
The most important thing is to find time during the day so that children can play quietly at home, that they can carry out activities without having to be planned ... in short, they need free time to be children and learn only how they know… playing!
Children's schedules don't need to be full of extracurricular activities that don't leave them time to be kids. They need to have (and should be for each day) unstructured play time and it's just as important as academic reinforcement or music classes… not a waste of time at all! This way they will have time to develop, to enhance creativity and to realize that learning can be fun. Reading, drawing, playing with cars, making up stories… all of this can help your children learn and realize what they really like.
The why stage
There is a stage where children begin to ask the why of everything, they have infinite curiosity and do not feel the need to stop in order to learn things. It is necessary that when your child asks you why everything, take a deep breath and answer her questions with all the calm and serenity in the world. When children ask why everything is a sign of intelligence and interest in the world.
It is not necessary that you answer him with the correct answer, to enhance his learning you must allow him to take the initiative to find the correct answer. In this way they can learn to find the answers to their own questions, under your guidance.
Speak positive
You need to learn to speak positively. Criticism affects confidence throughout children's lives, therefore you should let your children know that you admire their effort to do things well every day. They should also know that making mistakes is not a bad thing and that to be successful you have to make mistakes and learn from mistakes. You need to enjoy the process in order to savor the end result.
You need to explain to children that there is no such thing as failure, there are only opportunities to understand things in new ways. When your child shows a new skill, pay attention to what he is doing and encourage him to keep doing it if he likes it. You are their biggest role model although you may not realize that you are the best figure that can exist for your little one.
The senses as protagonists
When children are able to experience what is happening in the world through their senses, they will be able to learn much more and better. A good way to play with the senses is to go to the garden and let them explore nature. This way they will be able to interact with insects, flowers and birds… you will be able to feel the textures, smell the aroma of the flowers and they will know that there will be things that they cannot touch because they prick or sting.
If the child cannot go out to the garden, the senses can be used at home. For example, you can play with flour or liquids (preparing everything so that the room does not get too dirty), or take a box and put papers and objects inside and have your child guess what it is blindfolded, or perhaps identify things through smell or taste… there are many ideas!
Do not trust electronics and interact with your children every day to enhance their creativity and increase the positive feeling towards learning.
