Tips for Nurturing Creative Young Minds

 


Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Imagination opens

the doors of possibilities. It nurtures the child’s creativity and ingenuity. Children

learn to read, interact, play and express themselves through creative plays.

Imagination can foster the social and cognitive skills of a child.  


Little Genius Academy is the leading English Grammar Class for Kids. We also offer programs like Maths World Program, Reading Circle Program and Junior CEO’s Program. 


Here are a few ways that can help to nurture your child’s imagination and creative skills.


1. Spend time outdoors - Nature provides endless benefits for child development. It offers countless opportunities for discovery, creativity and problem-solving. The natural world inspires people to think, question, make discoveries and nurture their creative minds. Children can draw in the sand, make designs with twigs, build forts with branches or simply lie on the ground to look at the sky. 


2. Encourage art activities - Art is a creative expression that nurtures the imagination. Art activities like painting, sculpture, collage, clay modeling or drawing help your kids work through their emotions, express their ideas and make strong decisions. Working with different art materials provides them a sense of freedom and encourages their focus and concentration. Art activities can help in building their confidence as they gain mastery of their skills gradually. 


3. Verbal Activities - Rhymes, riddles, silly sounds, phonics and games like “I Spy” or even creating lyrics to common tunes can inspire and nurture your child’s creative mind. These activities help in building their vocabulary and can help them in improving their grammar and phonics skills. 


4. Ask them open-ended and thought-provoking questions - Asking questions that provoke their thinking is an effective way to encourage your child to think and express their independent thoughts and ideas. Makeup stories with your child, encourage them to think like the characters and propose moral dilemmas. Take turns making up a continuing story. 


5. Limit their screen time - Nurturing imagination in the digital age can prove as a tough task for parents. Focusing on the screen is a passive way of learning. Parents can encourage alternative methods that limit their screen time. Encourage your children to engage in kinesthetic activities that use their entire bodies and open their five senses. 

Early childhood is the peak time to encourage their imagination.
