All children are born with the ability to be creative. However, their potential may be stifled if we do not care to stimulate and encourage creativity. Our creativity shows who we are as a unique individual. Have you heard - "there is no such thing as can not." We can and we will! Creativity is an important aspect of the whole personality. He can see things differently and unusual. This is an important skill to solve problems throughout someone's life - the ability to think of alternatives to solve a problem. Or see other problems may not have noticed and find effective solutions to these problems. What is creativity? Activity What do you think is creativity? Write a paragraph or short list of how you define creativity. What is creativity? Creativity is originality, expressiveness, imagination to give birth to, produce, represent, to give character, evolving from his own thoughts, to develop, design, parent, throw together to give rise to. There are many different aspects of creativity. It is essentially the ability to produce new and useful ideas from everyday objects, and solutions to everyday problems and challenges. This is a translation of gifts and vision to produce something new and useful. There is no agreed definition of creativity. Creativity is mainly sought in the field of psychology. In this, it is generally argued that creativity is to be appropriate and novel. So what are the personality traits of highly creative individuals? Personality traits of highly creative individuals Creative individuals will be able to review daily and familiar things in new ways. They will be able to see things that are unusual, not obvious.

Encouraging Creativity in Children - A Children do not develop the creativity because of what we show them, not because of what they are told to do or not. It is incredibly easy to discourage children to be creative, but why discourage it. It is easy to steal children's experiences, experiences in their culture, education and education, because we do not encourage their creativity. Hennessy and Amabile (1992, Goleman, Kaufman and Ray, 1992 - The Creative Spirit) identified some common "creative killers" that are commonplace in our schools and homes. Evaluation - Constantly what children do, their evaluation, any comments on what they do, regardless of what they do can make them to worry and not realize the value of what they do. In addition, it can cause them to lose the enjoyment in the actual process of creating something. Monitoring - You know how you feel when someone is standing over you watching what you do? You probably hate, or begin to make mistakes or get excited. This continuous monitoring or watching the kids can have the same effect on children. It may make them feel as if they were under constant observation. It can resist the opportunity to take risks in their creativity or to hide their creative abilities. Rewards - Providing rewards and incentives for their creativity can reduce the need for children to create things for the sake of creativity - the joy of creating something. Competition - Creativity should not be on competition. We all have creative skills in different ways. If we encourage children to compete against each other, to create the best image, etc., it can reduce their creativity. There will always be an image that is better than the others, there will always be a bit of modeling junk is better than others. Anything created by a child must be congratulated for its own value and worth, not compared to models or pictures of other children. Restricting choice - if we tell the children what activities to undertake, it can reduce their curiosity and passion to create. They should be allowed to explore and experiment with their own creativity and the production method. More Control - If we continue to tell kids how to do things, how we think they should do things, this may reduce creativity and originality of the child. He may leave the impression that the children what they are doing is not good enough, an error or a waste of time to try something new. Putting pressure on children - by putting pressure on children, it can actually give them an aversion to creativity. If we expect amazing results every time a child creates something, it can put unnecessary pressure on them. This can also limit their ability to do or experience. In addition, if our expectations are too high, it may be because they are beyond the level of child development. So how can we encourage children to be creative? 1. Encourage children to keep trying - they can be the child's most creative world, but if they do not keep trying and do not see a task to completion, we will not know how they are creative and can be . 2. Show appreciation for their efforts - the praise! 3. Try not to help too. Resist the temptation to resume or complete the task for them. 4. Try not to watch too. Allow them to be spontaneous. Self-confidence is essential for the development of their creativity. 5. Provide a creative atmosphere. Allow easy access of children to the creative team, such as clay, drawing books, pencils, paper. Give them toys that promote creativity. If you're worried that they can start drawing on the wall, make sure they understand only in certain areas they can make some "disorder" play, as the kitchen or a conservatory. Tell them often enough and it will sink in 6. Reverie - Reverie is an important process. It allows the child to imagine things and different results. Some aspects of dreaming are important for the development of problem-solving skills. But do not let TOO many childhood dream day. If you feel the child is sitting daydreaming too much, ask them to ask about their dreams, perhaps they can lead to fun activities. For example, they tell you part of the dream day, then you fill in a little more, then add a little more and so on. It can become a game 7. Whether the child is "different." Let him know that there is no "right" answer to a problem, they should be encouraged to be unique and innovative. If it does not work this time, hey, who knows it might work with another problem. 8. Encourage problem solving and planning in many areas of their lives. When they solve a problem (or does not solve it), encourage them to ask why and how they solve it, so they can use skills in other areas. 9. If the child does not want help, do not put them under pressure, but if requested, provide them the support they want. Children, like adults, need rules to live their lives. Children need to learn to control their behavior depending on the situation and rules of society. There are times and places where creativity can not be important, for example, coloring on the wall with markers is obviously not appropriate in most households. However, there should be a balance between the times when children can be creative, explore and experiment. Sometimes, the choices should be limited and the instruction given, but at other times, children should have the option to explore and develop their creative abilities. It is important that the child does not go through life as learning rules and conformity, not creativity and joy. Encourage creativity in children - Drama and Comedy Drama and Comedy Drama and comedy are great ways to encourage children to be creative. There are so many ways you can do that. Pretend to be All Ask them to pretend to be something - a cat, a dog, a giant, a car, a lawnmower, the world, a sharpener - all they want to be . Ask them to think about what it means to be a lawnmower or the world or a cat or dog. This can be done in the context of storytelling. See article on telling the story. Ask them to make noise they imagine the thing they are copying would. Cut out pictures and ask each child to choose an image. They then pretend to be what's on the picture for two minutes - a cat, a dog, a car - everything in the picture. Try to get them to be spontaneous. Pretend to have a fling something exciting happens. Get your children to close their eyes, tell them the car can fly when his eyes are closed and they want some time. When they open their eyes and say that this is not stealing, we can say - "Well, it's because you opened your eyes!" Then get them to imagine where you can fly. You see a man jogging. Ask them why they think it is running. Is escape from pirates? Is it the fastest runner in the world? Is it running the world? Where is he going? The questions are endless. Plays If you really want to go further, you can encourage children to put on plays. Ask them to invent a story, then they can act for you. Maybe put on costumes and disguises, using ridiculous voice, make some accessories. It need not be expensive or look fantastic. They should be able to use their imagination to make these things. If they do not want a story, maybe they could work on a story they already know. If they like it, they could perhaps make the game for friends or other relatives - grandparents, aunts, etc. Again, what makes props or costumes or inventing the story of how to encourage to think creatively. The Shy Child There are always children who are reluctant to get involved in this kind of creative play. Start with small steps. Maybe they do not want to appear "stupid" in front of their siblings or friends. If they are not to participate, perhaps encourage them to watch you and the other children play. When they see how it can be fun, hopefully they will want to participate. If they do not, encourage them to participate in other ways, such as distribution maps, making props, etc. It may be that these are not kids who want to participate in theater games type but they may be creating another way - drawing, coloring, create accessories, etc. Do not stifle creativity - just to encourage him in another direction! Encouraging Creativity in Children - Junk Junk Modelling Modelling - get your unwanted household (well, kind of clean anyway), boxes, toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, cereal boxes, whatever paper you can find. Giving children a little glue, pens, scissors (if they are old enough, or help them if they are not) and let go. See what they come with. A hotel? A house for their dolls? A cave? A car? An animal? What is in their minds, they can create. If they are seated in search of their absent-minded, encouraging them to "see" things differently. Pick up the cereal box and say: "Is it not look like a house" or a car "or a spaceship?" Is not fetch the toilet roll tube as a rocket or a snake or a telescope? Give them ideas and let them run with them. Encouraging Creativity in Children - Stories Telling Stories - Stories are an excellent way to encourage creativity in children. You can do this in many ways. Adult You tell the story - to tell a story without a book. If you're not a natural storyteller, perhaps you could read a children's book first, then maybe change the names and make them a little different. Then sit down with their child and tell the story without a book. Face, make the ridiculous voice, encourage them to do actions. You may feel a bit ridiculous, but the more you do, the more you can find your own inner creativity! And it's fun to be funny sometimes! If you're brave, you would like to make your own history. Children love stories about themselves. Do the characters have their names. If you have lots of children to tell the story, it would not be a good idea because some children may feel excluded. But if you have children one, two, three or four with you, I'm sure you can think of different characters with their names. Do not be anxious to give their names to strangers or animals or cars or whatever. Children usually think it's really funny. Keep in mind of the child, but if you do not think they will find it funny to be a pig or a stranger, then think of something else. Adults and children tell a story together. You can start this in a simple manner. You can all say a sentence, then you can start. "One day it was very dark and the bill was in bed when he heard a loud noise." Then, one child says a sentence - "Bill was afraid he could not what it was. "Then another -" He thinks he could be his pet alien, Nigel. " Etc. etc. Whether they are as stupid as possible - being silly can lead to great imaginative stories. Then you can go on and on. Other adults may also be involved. In doing so, be wary of it going too long and become boring. If it seems to go nowhere, start another story. If children do not seem interested, have them start the story instead of you. They can choose something that is more interesting for them then. Children Have the child tell you a story. Ask them to invent one. You may find that early stories are a bit short or a little repetitive, but the more you encourage the child, they become the best storyteller. If they struggle with it, make a picture book (without words if possible) and ask them to make a story around the images. Or they show photos of any book, a book about fish, or animals or houses and ask them to use them to make history. If you're feeling really creative, have children cut out lots of pictures from magazines or draw pictures. Put the pictures on the cards. Then, sitting in a circle. Each child (and adults) takes a card and must cover the story from there. If children seem to find it really difficult to tell stories, back to basics. Show them a picture and ask them to imagine something. For example, show them a picture of an old man. Ask them how old they think it is, what they think of his name is, it is friendly, he is grumpy, he is happy, etc. To do this, it will often encourage them to think more about what they see around them. Do the same with animals. Ask them to name the animal, a personality, what they like to eat - again encourage them to do stupid things, as well as "real" things that the animal can eat . Books Above all, books are always a very important part of the creative process. Read to your child, do it when you can. Do not we just leave it until bedtime. Reading can be a big part of a bedtime routine, but it should not be the only time. Some parents may find that their child is truly tired at bedtime and do not want a story, then why not read during the day. Sit down with your child when you can and read them a story. If you have trouble finding time for any reason, ask another adult to read to them. If you have an older child, ask them to read to young children - which will improve their reading skills as well. Above all, remember to tell stories should be fun!
