The Importance of Creativity to Children's Education

Now is the era of "mass innovation and mass entrepreneurship"

Many people have broken their heads and want to share a piece of the "innovation" industry.

New energy or black technology.

Warn us of the importance of "innovation" ability.

However, many people's "creativity" was obliterated when they were young.

Racing is the dream of many boys, and it is no exception.

At the age of seven, he could simply assemble a toy car and "cure" the broken toy car.

To solve the problems caused by the collision of old cars, he learned the knowledge of middle school students such as "resistance" through video.

However, there is always a gap between dreams and reality, and parents are always the protagonists in this gap.

Just like Mingming and other children have some motorcycle dreams, Mingming's mother, like other parents, thinks it is useless without exception.

It is a hobby that delays children's growth, study and college entrance examination. Stubborn will only accomplish nothing.

Because of my mother's strong opposition, I still can't go to my motorcycle dream.

Why don't parents like their children to do these "idle" things?

Because parents can't see the improvement of their children's concentration, they can't see their children's exploration of creativity in what they like.

Refusing children to explore in their own world is killing their creative fun. It is parents who kill children's creativity. Maybe even parents who have lived for decades don't know how important creativity is to their children.

1. Why is children's "creativity" declining?

The phenomenon of "dead reading" is becoming more and more serious.

Now the pressure of entering a higher school is very great, and the financial burden is too much for parents. Any middle school costs tens of thousands of dollars a year, so that children and parents can get "full marks".

Parents rarely let their children do things that have nothing to do with their studies because of their consideration of their children's studies.

Basketball, running, guitar and dancing are all useless things before the college entrance examination.

Without the cultivation of other abilities, children will also reduce their ability to "fight".

Among all kinds of hobbies, children are better at thinking than usual, because they are willing to do such things and because they can find the confidence to stick to their understanding.

Reading enriches people's connotation, but only the ability to learn textbooks is far from enough. "Reading thousands of books and Taking Wan Li Road" is the importance of practice.

Lack of parental guidance.

"100,000 whys" can be said to be the label of all children. Asking questions is their most striking feature, but sometimes, mom and dad will be speechless by their children.

Parents always like to answer their children with "why do you ask so many questions" and "what's there to ask", which inadvertently interrupts their curiosity.

Curiosity is the key to children's creativity.

Because only by being good at thinking and daring to ask questions can we discover new things.

It is impossible to make innovative discoveries by sticking to the rules.

Because the rule itself is a kind of restriction, and with the high sky, there is no such depth that cannot be touched.

Second, how much influence does creativity have on children?

In the TV series "The Best of Us", Huai Yu, the protagonist, is diligent in thinking and likes learning since he was a child, because his parents gave him a relatively free living environment. Coupled with his own efforts and talent, he is not only a great basketball player, but also a physical genius.

I won the championship at an early age and got the opportunity to study abroad.

Creativity gives children a bright future.

Because such a child will not be controlled by the immediate limitations.

For example, Edison invented the electric light, and the apple awakened Newton. Creativity broadens people's future space and makes children have many possibilities.

It is found that only a few gifted children can eventually become people who change the world, and most of them are mediocre in the end.

Some people think that these gifted children lack the social and emotional skills developed in society.

In fact, what really restricts them is the lack of originality.

Therefore, children with "creativity" can be more successful.

Third, the importance of creativity to children?

Ma Yun: If we continue the previous teaching methods, we will recite, recite and count these things for our children.

Not for children to experience, but not for children to try piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I can guarantee that the children will not find jobs in 30 years.

Because most jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence.

So creativity is like a pair of children's shoes.

How far a child can go on the road of life depends entirely on these "shoes".

And good creativity also brings children good thinking ability.

Thinking and creation complement each other. No one can create, but they have no thinking power, and creation without thinking power is even more empty talk.

Practice can produce perfection, but there is nothing new. If children are creative, the future will be different.

4. Since we know that children's creativity is so important, how should parents cultivate it?

Benjamin Bloom, a psychologist, studied the early growth environment of world-class musicians, artists, athletes and scientists and found that their parents did not dream of raising their children into superstars.

They follow their children's intrinsic motives.

When children show interest or enthusiasm in a skill, these parents will support them.

Parents are the main force to cultivate children's creativity.

Parents should do these four things to protect their children's creativity.

Let the children "go out". The frog in the well can't see the scenery beyond the wellhead, nor can the children who don't die. For example, taking children to an exhibition can enhance their horizons and provide materials for their creativity.

Guide and encourage children to think. Good ideas come from repeated thinking.

Set goals. A creative child also needs a direction, otherwise, he will give up easily.

Cultivate children's curiosity. Curiosity is the source of human exploration, and curiosity is the key to cultivate children's creativity.

Children's thinking education can't be ignored. Creativity and thinking ability are skills that children need in their future life. Parents should not only pay attention to them, but also find the right way to guide and help them.

Under the social background of advocating innovation,

Only by cultivating children's innovative ability from an early age and making innovation a habit will they not solidify their thinking.
