How to Cultivate Children's Creativity in Family Education
Imagination is an important aspect of the development of intelligence and creativity. To make children's creativity develop perfectly and well, it is very important to cultivate and exercise their imagination:

1) painting: painting is the easiest way to arouse children's imagination, and it is also children's favorite form of image expression. Although painting skills are not high, it can express children's thinking process. For children's paintings, we should not only pursue how "like" they are, but encourage them to "think" as much as possible. Parents need to be reminded that they should not be connoisseurs of children's paintings, but should be critics of their imagination. Instead of paying attention to whether children can become painters, it is better to see whether children's imagination has been fully exerted.

2) Editing: The continuation of the story ending and the imitation of poetry are the high standards of creativity. As an art of image language, stories are deeply loved by children. In the process of listening to stories, children associate corresponding images and activities through the description of words. In order to develop children's creative imagination, when telling stories, we should pay attention to training children to continue to make up the ending of the story, and often have a "listen to the next chapter", such as what happened later? How is he? ..... guide children to expand their imagination from multiple angles, and continue.

3) Games: Games are the best activities to develop children's imagination. In the game, children imitate the activities of adults, use their imagination to play various roles, show various life situations, and solve the difficulties and problems encountered in the game by themselves, such as building a doll bed with building blocks, cooking for dolls with cups as pots, driving with rings as steering wheels, and tearing paper into strips to make noodles. , and negotiate with their friends to assign roles and arrange activities. When children are seriously thinking about these problems, the plot of the game is also specific, and children's creativity has also been developed.

Train thinking and develop potential.

Parents should encourage their children to think more, ask more questions and put forward their own different views and opinions. In the family, to cultivate children's creative thinking, we should emphasize how to actively find answers other than "ordinary" questions, and emphasize the flexibility of thinking activities and the transfer of knowledge. Parents should especially appreciate their children's novel and unique ideas. Even if their ideas are naive or even wrong, we should first affirm their innovative spirit, and then patiently tell them where they are wrong and guide them to learn to think purposefully, in many ways and from many angles.

4 ~ 7 years old is the most creative period of children, and it is the freest and fastest stage of creativity development. The connotation of cultivating children's creativity in the family is extremely rich. Only when parents understand what creativity is can they discover, protect and develop their children's creativity!
