Imagination and creativity are very important abilities for children to adapt to future social development. I am often asked how to cultivate children’s imagination. My answer is that does not need to be cultivated. It is not limited to cultivate. In education, it’s not that parents do as much as possible. Sometimes it’s the opposite. Especially when it comes to cultivating children’s imagination, I think less restriction is the golden rule.
At a parent meeting, I drew a circle on paper. Parents and friends present, please tell me what I drew. Parents all agreed that it was the number 0 or the letter O. The children in the classroom gave a wide range of answers. Some said it was the sun, some said it was the moon, some said it was a doll's face, and some said it was a restaurant dish. Obviously the imagination of children is far beyond that of adults. Because adults are often constrained by experience and common sense, if they are not a person with rich imagination, they are actually very limited in cultivating children's imagination.
Someone once said that children are born philosophers . I agree very much. Only in a free soul can real self-thinking and imagination arise Power and creativity. This kind of power must germinate and grow strong in early childhood, otherwise it will shrink.
My friend moved to a new house and invited me to be a guest on the weekend. When I entered the house, it was very warm and elegant, showing that my friends spent a lot of attention on decoration. We were chatting. From the room came the voice of a friend and a lover scolding her daughter: How can you paint on the wall? What do you think of the smooth wall. We walked over and saw the 3-year-old baby standing there blankly with grievances on his face and tears in his eyes. I hurriedly stopped my mother, squatted down and asked: Does Niuniu also want to draw some pictures for her new home? Niuniu said: "I want to draw a picture of mom, dad and me here." I said, "Great.Then, let's paint more beautifully on paper and then paint on the wall, shall we? "We found paper, and Niuniu ran to paint happily. Mother said distressedly: "The white walls that have just been carefully decorated are painted like this. ” A smooth wall or a child’s growth is more valuable?
Children are all geniuses of drawing, and they are also creative geniuses. When they start to paint wantonly with their pens Their artistic talents. The freedom and ease shown in their paintings is a realm that no one can teach, and any technique is difficult to reach. We give children a graffiti wall, and the children often return talents and abundance that cannot be measured by price.
Children themselves have rich imagination, if they rarely encounter this restriction in life, such as not being allowed to move, that being unable to do that, and early contact with books, they can look through the window of books Go out and see the world outside of reality, then imagination can be developed normally.
Many of our parents think that their children are still small. For the sake of safety, this is not allowed or that cannot be done. Don’t worry about it, just study well. A childhood that lacks trials and makes no mistakes is terrifying, and his cognitive foundation will be very weak. Such children will not live more correctly and better in the future, but have to spend more energy to do it. Identify the world and adapt to future life; it is possible to live in rigid, boring and cautious, or even depravity of self-reliance all your life.
Develop children’s imagination and not do extraordinary or bad things. Understand children’s needs for experimentation, provide them with opportunities to try as much as possible, and give them a confident and happy way of thinking, so that their talents and potential can grow in the future Give full play to.
