Being too strict is not love, it is obstruction! How to guide correctly to make children’s thinking “alive”?

In kindergarten, we also observed that Chengcheng does not like to communicate with peers, likes to imitate other people\’s works during games, and is not interested in new things. During the communication with his parents, we learned that Chengcheng’s parents were strict with him and the family atmosphere was relatively tense. This tense family atmosphere may make children often feel anxious or uneasy, making children less relaxed and inhibiting the development of creativity. Every parent hopes that their children can have unlimited creativity and imagination, but the reality is often not satisfactory. Just like what Chengcheng’s mother is confused about: children always repeat the same pattern when playing with building blocks every day, lacking imagination and creativity. If this situation is not guided, it may have a negative impact on the child\’s future development. For example, the content of compositions written after school is cliched and the way of thinking is solidified, which may even affect children\’s ability to solve problems. So, as parents, how can we help our children break this limitation and stimulate their creativity? Creativity: the secret weapon for children to win in the future! First, we need to understand that creativity is not just the exclusive province of artists or designers. In the rapidly changing modern society, creativity has become a core competitiveness, which can help children better adapt to the future, solve problems, and even lead innovation. Children who lack creativity may be helpless when faced with new problems and challenges, while children who are creative can respond flexibly and come up with novel solutions. Family atmosphere: The \”behind-the-scenes driving force\” that quietly affects children\’s creativity. Family atmosphere has a crucial impact on the development of children\’s creativity. A tense, strict home environment may make children feel anxious and restless, inhibiting their creativity. On the contrary, a harmonious, free and relaxed family atmosphere can encourage children to play freely, dare to try, and not be afraid of failure. In many families, parents often play a strong role and plan everything for their children. They even have strict rules on whether to write math homework or Chinese homework first. Children under this kind of education can easily become like \”robots\”, losing their own ideas and opinions, having serious stereotypes, and their creativity is severely restricted. Parents should try to avoid over-discipline situations. Because children can often bring more inspiration and growth to their parents, which is far more than what parents can teach their children. Parents should learn to let go and give their children more freedom and space to stimulate their creativity and exploration spirit. Cultivate your child\’s creativity, this is the right thing to do! Creativity is a key ability for children\’s future development and success. In order to cultivate children\’s creativity, parents can start from the following aspects: 1. Create a relaxed family atmosphere. Parents should create a relaxed, free and loving family environment. Such an atmosphere encourages children to express their thoughts and feelings freely without fear of criticism or ridicule. When children come up with fantastic ideas, parents should respond positively and support them, letting them know that every idea they have is worthy of respect and exploration. This kind of positive feedback can stimulate children\’s creative enthusiasm and self-confidence. 2. Provide diverse experiences. Parents should provide diverse experiences for their children.experience to stimulate their creativity. You can take your children to visit museums, science and technology museums, libraries and other places to enrich their horizons and knowledge. At the same time, encourage children to read more different types of books and be exposed to different cultures and ideas. In addition, it can also guide children to get close to nature and learn to observe and discover the beauty in life. These experiences not only broaden children\’s knowledge, but also provide them with unlimited creative inspiration. 3. Encourage the development of imagination. Imagination is the cornerstone of creativity. Parents can stimulate their children\’s imagination in various ways, such as playing role-playing games together, telling stories, drawing, etc. These activities allow children to play freely in a pretend world and experience different roles and situations, thereby cultivating their empathy and problem-solving skills. At the same time, parents can also encourage children to ask \”what if…\” questions and stimulate them to imagine different possibilities and outcomes. 4. Guide creative activities. When children have rich imagination and creative ideas, parents need to guide them to transform these ideas into actual creative activities. It can provide children with a wealth of materials and tools, allowing them to create and play freely. For example, provide building blocks, Lego and other toys to allow children to build buildings or scenes of their own imagination; provide waste items and materials to allow children to make small productions or inventions, etc. These activities not only exercise children\’s hands-on skills, but also allow them to experience the joy of creation and a sense of accomplishment in practice. Finally: let us help children’s creativity take off! Every child is born with creativity, the key lies in how we guide and cultivate it. As parents, we must respect our children\’s nature, pay attention to their interests, and provide necessary support and help. By creating a good family atmosphere, providing diverse experiences, encouraging the development of imagination, and guiding creative activities, we can help children maintain their rich imagination and cultivate their creative character. Remember, creativity is not just a skill, but a way of thinking and attitude towards life. Let us work together to create a future full of creativity and possibility for our children!
