It allows us to see things in a different and unusual. This is an important ability to solve problems in anyoneLife - the ability to think about different alternatives to solve a problem.

Encourage creativity in children - What not to do
The children develop creativity, because what we show them, not for what we tell themto do or not do. It 'amazing just to discourage children to discourage creative, but why. It 'easy to experience for children to steal their experiences of culture and education, why not encourage their creativity. Hennessy and Amabile (1992, Goleman, Kaufman and Ray, 1992 - The Creative Spirit) has identified some common "killer creative" that are commonplace in our schools and homes.
Rating - always trying to do what childrento evaluate, comment on what they do, think about what they can take care of them and not understand the value of what they do. You can also make them lose the joy in the actual process of creating something.
Surveillance - you know, like you did when someone stands over you feel what you are doing? You probably have to start hating, or of making mistakes or feel nervous. This constant monitoring or watching the kids can have the same effect onChildren. You can make them feel as if they were under constant observation. It can resist the opportunity to take risks in their creativity and their creative abilities.
Awards - awards and the reasons for their creativity can create the need for the baby things for the sake of creativity - for the pleasure of creating something.
Competition - creativity needs to be no competition. We all have creative abilities in various ways. If weEncourage children to compete with each other to create the best image, etc., can reduce their creativity. There is always an image that is better than the other, there will always be a little 'junk modeling, which is better than the others. Everything should be done by a child for its value and the value of being praised, not models or images are compared with other children.
Restriction of freedom of choice - if we are children, to say engage in activities that can reduce their curiosityand to create passion. You should explore and experience the creativity and the type of production.
Over-Control - When we say that the children I like things the way we think they should keep things could affect the child's creativity and originality. The child may feel that what they're doing is not good enough, an error or is a waste of time to try something new.
Pressure on children - through pressure on children, you canactually give them a distaste for creativity. If we can expect incredible results every time a child creates something that put unnecessary pressure on them. This in turn may limit their performance or experience. Even if our expectations are too high, it may be because they are beyond the child's development.
How can we encourage children to be creative?
1 Encourage the children to keep trying - the child can be more creative in the world, but if they donot continue to try and see no problems until the end, we will not know how creative they are and they can be.
2 showing appreciation for their efforts - they praise!
3 Do not try to help too. Resist the temptation to take over or end the task for them.
4 Try not to monitor too. Are spontaneous. After the self-awareness is essential for the development of their creativity.
5 Enter a creative atmosphere. Leave a easy access to childcreative tools, such as clay, drawing books, pencils, paper. Give them toys to promote creativity. If you are worried that they begin to draw on the wall, so you understand there are only certain areas can make their game "messy", as the kitchen or conservatory. Tell them often enough and it will sink
6 Daydream - daydreaming is an important process. It allows the child to imagine things and different results. Some aspects of daydreamare important for the development of problem solving skills. But do not let the child fantasizing too much. If the child is daydreaming to feel too much, please fill in his daydreams, perhaps it can lead to fun activities. For example, say they dream of a part of the day, then fill a little 'more, then I am a little' more, and so on to add. It can then become a game.
7 Let the child is "different". Let the child know that there is no "right" answer to a problem thatshould be encouraged to be innovative and unique. If it does not work this time, hey, who knows, might work with another problem.
8 Encourage problem solving and planning in various areas of their lives. If you solve a problem (or is not to solve), to encourage them to, why and how they see it resolved, so you can use the capabilities in other areas.
9 If the child does not want help, do not put pressure, but if you ask them the support they want.
Children,As adults, they need rules to live their lives. Children must learn to control their behavior depending on the situation and rules of society. There are times and places where creativity can not be of importance as a color on the wall with permanent markers is obviously not suitable for most families. However, it should explore a balance between the periods in which children can be creative and experiment. Sometimes the decisions should be limited and given direct instructions, butother times, children should choose to explore and develop their creative skills will be given. It 'important that the child does not go through life just a little' of rules and conformity, not creativity and joy.
Encourage creativity in children - Drama and Theater Games
Theater and theater games
Games of drama and theater are great ways for kids to be creative. There are many ways you can do this.
Pretending to be all
Ask them to do so, assomething - a cat, a dog, a giant, a car, a lawnmower, the world, a sharpener - all I want to be. Make them think, to be about what it's like a lawnmower or the world or a cat or a dog. This can also be performed as part of the narrative. See article on the talk stories.
Sounds that make them what they would copy can imagine.
Cut a few pictures and ask each child to choose an image. You have to pretend that what is onImage for 2 minutes - a cat, a dog, a car - whatever the image.
Try to be spontaneous.
Adventure
Pretend something exciting happens.
Ask your children to close their eyes, for example the car can fly when their eyes are closed and they want so long. Not when they open their eyes and say it is flying, you can say - "Well, it's because you opened your eyes!" Then you get to imagine where you could fly.
You see a man running.Ask them why they think it is running. He is on the run from pirates? He is the fastest runner in the world? If you run all over the world? Where'd he go? The questions are endless.
Plays
If you really want to get into this, it might encourage children to pieces listed. Ask them a story, then you can live out there for you. Maybe wear fancy dress costumes, with silly voices, make some props. It should not be expensive or look fantastic. You should be ableuse their imagination to do these things.
If they do not want a story, perhaps you could act, a story they already know.
If you really enjoy these, could not play for friends or relatives - grandparents, aunts, etc.
Again, make props and costumes or the invention of history are ways to encourage them to think creatively.
The Shy Child
You will always find some guys who are reluctant to engage in this type of creative play is.Start with small steps. Maybe they do not want to seem "stupid" in front of their siblings or friends. If you do not care, and perhaps encourage them to see you play and the other children. When they see how fun it is, we hope you will want to join. If they do not, encourage them in other ways, such as distribution maps, so props, etc. There are children who do not want to play in the drama of its type to be involved, but they can creativelyother ways - drawing, painting, making props, etc.
In order not to stifle their creativity - only encourage it in a different direction!
Encourage creativity in children - Junk Modelling
Junk Modelling - get your household items (or rather, how clean anyway), cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, cereal boxes, paper, what you can find. Give the kids some 'glue, pencils, scissors (if they are large enough, or help them if not) and let them go. See what it does. AHotel? A dolls' house? A cave? A car? An animal? What is in their minds, they can create. If you sit looking at his absence, encouraging them to "see" things differently. Take the cereal box and say "do not look like a house" "or a car" "or a spaceship?"
It does not seem a rocket tube of toilet paper or a snake or a telescope?
Give them ideas and let them run with them.
Encourage creativity in children - Telling stories
Stories - Storiesare a great tool to promote creativity in children. You can do this in many ways.
Adult
They tell the story - a story without a book. If you are not a natural storyteller, a child could read the first book and then maybe the name and make it something different. Then you sit with your child and tell them the story without a book. Create the faces, voices not stupid, encouraging them to do actions. You might feel silly at first, but the more you do,The more you find your inner creativity! And then, it's fun, sometimes silly!
If you're brave, you might want to back your stories. Children love stories, in which. Take the characters have their names. If you have too many children in telling the story, this may not be a good idea because some children may feel excluded. But if you are one, two, three or four have children with you, I'm sure you can choose between different characters with their names to think about. Notbe concerned to give their names to the animals or aliens or car or whatever. Children usually think it's really fun. Remember the baby, but I do not think they find it fun to think of a pig or an alien then, something else.
Adults and children
Tell a story together. You can start easily. You can say all one sentence, so that you could start.
"One day, it was very dark and Bill were in bed when he heard a loud noise."
Then one ofThe children, says a phrase -
"Bill is afraid that he did not know what it was."
Then -
"He thought it might be his pet alien, Nigel." Etc etc
Let them be stupid - too stupid can lead to great imaginative stories. Then you can go on and on. Other adults may be included.
Remember to be careful, go too long and too boring.
If it seems to lead nowhere, you start another story.
If children do not seemare interested, get the story, rather than starting them. You might choose something that is more interesting then.
Children
Ask your child to tell a story. Ask them to make up. You can find that at the beginning of the story a little 'short or a little' repetitive, but the more you encourage the child, the better I am a storyteller.
If you are struggling with this, a picture book (without words, if possible) and ask them a story around thePictures. Or show the images from each book as a book on fish, animals or houses and ask you to use this to tell the story.
If you're feeling really creative, get the children to cut out a lot of pictures from magazines or draw lots of pictures. Put your photos on the cards. Then sit in a circle. All children (and adults) takes a paper and published the story from there.
Where to find the children, the narrative seems really hard to get back to basics. Show thema photo and ask them to imagine something. For example, they show a picture of an old man. Ask them how old they think that is what they think of his name, is friendly, he's grumpy, he is happy, etc. Do this often and encourage them to learn the things they see, thinking about it.
Do the same with animals. Ask them to name the animal, a person to do what they love to eat - once again encourage, doing stupid things, as well as "real" things, the animalto eat.
Books
Above all, books are still a very important part of the creative process. Read to your child, do it whenever you can. Not only will you leave until you go to bed. Reading can be a big part of the routine of going to sleep, but should not be the only time. Some parents find that their child will be really tired of going to bed and not a story, then, why not read during the day. Sit with your child whenever you can and read them a story.
If you are struggling to find timeany reason, ask another adult to read. If you have an older child, ask them to read the younger children - that will improve their reading skills as well.
Above all, remember the narrative should be fun!
