Four adult mistakes that undermine children's creativity

4 errors

When you hear the phrase: "Don't worry, he's still a kid and he doesn't understand". Like the phrase that promotes: "Give him the mobile and shut up." Or many others, which include: "What you have to do is study, period." There seems to be no other education and no other way out for people who study and if possible, in silence, quiet and without paying attention to anything more than a school book. These are just four mistakes we make as adults.

Sometimes, mostly, adults use these phrases to avoid compromising first, and second, so as not to bother. These practices are so common that we see them as logical. And we include them in our repertoire as adults. But when you collect them and make sense of them, they don't seem that much, do they?

Reward your achievements with low creative quality rewards

tied to the mobile

Normally the gummies are striking for their color and even more for their sugar. A tablets has a endless pending ideas. These rewards are very used when something has gone well. PBut in the end we get used to our son that doing something good compensates him with being lazy. Something that completely eliminates creativity. Play a game console, watch television, or wander YouTube. When we could reward with an apple, which is just as green as the jelly bean crocodile and also has sugar. It is sweet, but healthier. Buy an instrument, music. A camera, photography. Building tools or drawing brushes.

Shape your ideas

Shape your ideas

Since we are parents, we try to guide our children on the right path. This will make life easier for us and for them. The tree should be green on top and brown on the trunk. In no case to the contrary, nor are the blue leaves. The house must have the same image, with a triangle for a roof.

To believe that by not understanding these basic concepts, you are being wrong is to eliminate the world you imagine. Perhaps he saw it like this in his last dream when he slept. Or also in the fantastic world that he made before. If someone had told Robert Khan that it was impossible to send files in a virtual world, perhaps we would not have such an internet and we know it. That was far from a green tree with a brown trunk. Try to introduce yourself into their world, don't change it.

Have conversations with him or her

When we say that because he is small or small he will not understand. That it is better not to explain things to him, not only limit him in the short term. As an adult he may not create questions for the reason that he thinks he should already know them. Having no answers to your questions at the time you asked them, you may feel limited as an adult.

The compulsory activities, make them fun

From Finland they have told us that we must not only teach mathematics, English or geography. And neither do you teach those subjects from a chair. And it should be the same at home, not only with school activities, but also with those at home. We tend to force boring home activities in a monotonous way, transferring that to the little one. It is also usually accompanied by a quarrel hoping that he will fulfill it before and with pleasure.

Looking for another approach, like getting with them and making games out of this task it can encourage your urge to do so. In addition to dealing with material such as food or clothing. New colors, shades, flavors, smells and different tastes. All this focuses on a good creative performance. Like obligate to play sports.

Here are some steps you can take to launch your son or daughter into a more creative life. The fact that they move, investigate, try and develop different ideas creates concerns to do and to be, which in the future will help them to have more creativity. These are just a few concepts and ideas. What do you think?
