Children are receptive beings that actively respond according to the stimuli they receive from the environment. Parents should be aware of this fact and endeavor to foster a creative atmosphere of dialogue and interaction.
Let's see 8 ways to boost creativity in children:
1) Give options.
A young child can choose specific things (go to the zoo or aquarium, have cereal or a sandwich for breakfast). Older children are given a wider margin.
2) Let him take a chance.
Let them take risks (within their limits) because the ability to develop new ideas means stepping outside the usual safe zones.
3) Make it easy for her to do crafts at home, in which she can unleash her imagination.
4) Simple toys leave more room for creativity than technological or highly sophisticated ones, which stifle the imagination.
5) Fix and recycle.
If the child sees the mother recycle an old or paint-stained T-shirt, he learns to be creative. The kitchen also gives a lot of play: making a pizza, croquettes or savory pasta with food scraps.
6) Change the use of things. The child can suggest, and experiment, always having fun.
7) Break the rules. The weekend allows you to rehearse ways to vary the routine.
8) Working with body or spatial structures increases the capacity for abstraction (the grid of the boat game).
