There is one misconception among the parents that the best way to encourage the child’s creativity is to get out of the way and let them do their thing. A child’s creativity begins with their method of problem-solving and thinking. Although it is a fact that children are naturally inquisitive and curious, undeniably, they need help and support to develop and enhance their thinking. Wondering how you can give that much-needed push to your child?
Here are the tips that can help you to enhance your kid’s creative thinking:
-
Let them take simple decisions
Begin with asking them to make simple decisions, like where they want to go out for dinner, what they want to eat today, or where they want to go out on weekend. This will encourage them to think independently, and this is an important aspect of creativity.
-
Teach them to ask “what if”
Teach your children to ask “what if”, asking this question will open the limit of their thinking capacity. This will encourage curiosity among them, and curiosity always leads to learning more. And sometimes children, while asking the questions, come up with their unique answers.
-
Encourage your child’s interest
Try and know about things that your child is passionate about. For example, if the kid wants to learn how to draw then spend some time with your kid while he/she is drawing and ask what they are drawing and why they have drawn it that way. This will help your child to think about their own decision and open the gate of their imagination. Not just this, but, it will also encourage confidence among them.
Always read some good books to your children as reading books will encourage the imagination process among your kid. They will create those figures in their minds, and good imagination skills lead to creativity.
