Your imagination allows you to learn in a fun way and easily create solutions to any problem you may face in your life. If you want to help your child develop his imagination, these fun keys will allow you to be a good guide in his learning.
TO BOOST YOUR CHILD’S IMAGINATION
Encouraging your child’s imagination and creativity will provide benefits that will be reflected in the ability to solve problems, adapt to changes, their performance in culture and sports, in areas such as science, interpersonal relationships and how to manage their feelings, says Jonathan Plucker, an educational psychologist at the University of Connecticut.
For this reason, here we give you some keys to promote your child’s imagination.
1. Your child requires time and space to experiment, structure, and develop their games. Give him the opportunity to create without limits and for him to set his own rules when playing. The fun of the game will stimulate your creativity because it is something you enjoy.
2. Let him make mistakes so that he learns on his own, trying to solve everything can harm him. Tell him what the significance of being creative and innovative is, as well as its positive consequences.
3. Encourage him to create his own toys, games, stories, and characters, rather than buy everything ready-made. Children love to build things, make crafts, and let their imaginations run wild with fun creations.
4. Boost your love of reading and the arts. Buy him books of funny characters, take him to works of art with fantastic characters, who surprise him.
5. Limit television and electronic device time; that you enjoy more the activities that lead you to move, sing, shout, jump, run…
6. Boost your curiosity; give him puzzles, play hide and seek, ask funny questions about something, go for a walk in a forest…
7. Avoid conditioning it to focus only on the results. The idea is that you motivate your child to do something in exchange for a gift or prize. In fact, tell him the prize is fun.
In this regard, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania suggests that to develop imagination and creativity requires that children have new, more attractive alternatives, dynamics through which they can explore their skills, generate new ideas and, of course, have fun, always
and when they have a guide to support them.
