It would seem that it could be easier than the hobby of a child with a new toy. But in the age of technology, when any toy is already on tablets and phones, children do not develop creative skills at all.
But after all, its development depends on the actions of the child, drawing, and active outdoor games. Creative activities allow you to develop comprehensively, contribute to the improvement of motor skills, memory and imagination.
Of course, some virtual games can also cope well with some of these aspects, but are not able to capture the entire volume necessary for harmonious development.
So how can parents inspire their child to be creative? I will tell you about some options, and you can safely choose any one you like! Complement, combine, show your creativity!
How to inspire a baby:
- Show the end result of his actions
Young children perceive information better visually and by touch. To warm up his interest in any activity, you can show him the final result.
For example, if you use some unusual paints or plasticine in the game, you can draw / create something in advance and show the finished craft to the kid. Promise that you will teach him how to do this and that he will be able to come up with anything he wants.
- Get carried away by something yourself
The kid will not become interested in something if you yourself do not show interest in this game. You must have seen photos of mothers on the net who show scribbles of their children, which they then supplemented and turned into artistic masterpieces. There, what are you worse? Get inspired and it will inspire your child!
For example, take the same drawing as a basis. Take yourself to draw something yourself, it will be especially good if you create with unusual colors or materials. Show what you really like! The kid will definitely want to do something like that.
- Show interest in the actions of the child
In the process of any game or creativity, the child needs moral support. You need to not only inspire him on game but also during her. Encourage the baby, show enthusiasm for his success, be sure to praise. You can watch his game, in your own words prompting a more active activity.
In no case can we say that the child blinded something incorrectly, crookedly painted or chose green instead of blue for the clouds! This attitude not only reduces the interest in creativity, but also negatively affects the self-perception of the baby, which further adversely affects his self-esteem.
- To play together
Joint activity is an ideal option for strengthening relationships with the baby, contributing to the simultaneous more active creativity. If a mother, father, grandparents play with the child, this signals the baby that adults are interested in his activities. He feels significant, is inspired by more creativity and is proud of himself and his successes (especially if he is reminded of this).
Playing with parents, whether it is ordinary hide and seek or picking up tower blocks, makes the baby more open to preparing for communication with other children.This is both the development of creativity and socialization.
