1. Create a good family environment
A good family environment is an important condition for cultivating children's creativity. To develop children's creativity, it is necessary to provide children with a family environment that can express creativity and make them develop normally. This requires our parents to take the main responsibility, correctly understand creativity education, and strive to create a family atmosphere with harmonious feelings and relationships.
2. Cherish children's curiosity
Curiosity is the internal driving force of innovative thinking activities. Einstein famously said, "Anyone who has no curiosity and no sense of surprise is a walking corpse with blurred eyes." Curiosity is always the driving force of science, which can stimulate people's interest, develop people's potential and enable people to devote themselves to innovative activities. As parents, we should cherish and treat children's curiosity well, and correctly stimulate and guide their curiosity.
3. Let the children pay attention
Ushinski, a Russian educator, once said: "Attention is the only door to our hearts, and everything in our consciousness must go through it before it can come in." Indeed, attention is an important part of the intellectual structure and a key factor to bring children's creativity into play. Parents should cultivate their children's attention from an early age and let them form the habit of concentrating on things from an early age, which will affect their lives.
Maintaining good attention is the basic condition for the brain to carry out cognitive activities such as perception, memory and thinking. In a person's learning process, attention is the gateway to the soul. The bigger the door opens, the more we learn. Once distracted or unable to concentrate, it means that the door of the mind is closed and all useful knowledge cannot enter. Because of this, we should pay more attention to this point in class. What we need to do more is to find ways to attract students' attention as much as possible in your class. Make them interested in our class. Attention mainly needs to "pay attention to listening", "pay attention to watching" and "pay attention to thinking", which is a guidance to related problems and a full concentration of eyes, ears and thinking activities. No matter what you do, you can get twice the result with half the effort only by keeping your attention and concentration.
4. Train children's observation ability
Figuratively speaking, observation is the eye of creative structure. It can be seen that observation is also crucial to the development of a person's creative ability. Only by seeing more, listening more and contacting more in peacetime and accumulating rich knowledge and experience can we find out the connection between various things, solve problems and give play to our creative talents. Therefore, parents should realize the importance of observation ability to children's knowledge and growth, and help children cultivate observation ability.
5. Cultivate children's memory
Good memory is the foundation of intellectual development and creativity. Children, especially preschool children, their memory is at the center of consciousness, and memory plays a dominant role in all aspects of psychological activities. Without memory, children have to re-recognize what they have encountered every time, so it is impossible to gain any life knowledge and experience. For every parent, they also want their children to have a strong memory. Therefore, parents must understand the characteristics of children's memory and master the correct methods to cultivate children's memory.
I am an English teacher. When it comes to English, everyone will say it's just memorization. That is, the so-called memory, after knowing so many memory methods, using these methods selectively in my class will achieve some unexpected results. For example, with the organ participation method, people's various sensory organs participate in memory activities, which can greatly improve the memory level. For example, when teaching words about body parts, I can try my best to mobilize all kinds of senses such as hearing, sight and touch, so that children can listen to the teacher pointing at their body parts while watching, and also point to their body parts to read along. And so on, for example, teaching an apple word, students can look at it first, then touch it with their hands, then smell it with their noses, and finally taste it with their mouths. Understand the color, shape and taste of apples by looking, touching, smelling and tasting. You can learn red, round and sweet words. Delicious or something. Finally, let them draw apples to deepen their memory of knowledge. I use several sentences to describe the characteristics of apples, such as: apples are red and round. Sweet and delicious. There are also memories of games, intuitive phenomena, children's songs and so on, which are very inspiring to our class. I can also use what I have learned from books to teach students how to remember words and grammar.
6. Cultivate children's thinking ability
Thinking ability is a person's thinking ability, one of the necessary qualities of future talents, and an important basis for testing children's intelligence level. Especially creative thinking ability, it is a kind of ability to seek novelty and difference, try to break the shackles of rules and regulations and solve problems. This ability is based on children's complete independence, which is cultivated by children from an early age. As parents, if they want their children's thinking ability to be better than others, they must give them full opportunities to do things and the right to think, and cultivate their thinking ability from an early age. At the same time, parents should also strive to create a relaxed, democratic and free family atmosphere, which is conducive to the establishment and cultivation of children's autonomy.
7. Cultivate children's practical ability
Cultivating children's practical ability is an important aspect of improving children's creativity. Many innovative ideas must be perfected through operation and practice and become a reality. Creation and invention can not be separated from practical ability and operational ability. Parents must strengthen the training and cultivation of children's hands-on ability from an early age, so that children can work diligently and actively and form creativity in hands-on and practice.
8. Establish children's self-confidence.
Napoleon Hill said: "The power of confidence is amazing. Believe in yourself, then all difficulties will not be difficulties. Because self-confidence is a positive psychological quality, an internal driving force for people to forge ahead, and an essential psychological quality for a person to succeed. " For cultivating children's creativity, cultivating self-confidence is the prerequisite for the development of creativity. We should help children build long-term self-confidence, help them get rid of the shadow of inferiority, show themselves and realize themselves on the road of creating new things.
So I pay great attention to this in class now. I remember once in class, the students couldn't say what a very simple word was, so I said, "Didn't you learn it in primary school?" I learned it in the third grade. " Now I know that this is wrong, and it will reduce students' confidence. Seeing their bright spots, we should encourage them more and praise them in time. An obvious example is that on the first day of my class, there was a new student who hardly knew letters. This student is very serious. I tutored him several times in my spare time. He knows all the letters. Later, he was able to recite the words in each unit. I constantly praise him in class and often follow his example to let other students learn from him. He is more and more energetic and confident now, and his grades are constantly improving.
9. Exercise children's willpower
Tough willpower is an essential personality and psychological quality for career success, and it is an internal psychological force to ensure and maintain creative activities. Throughout the history of human creation and invention, we can find that there is no invention that has not been produced without overcoming various difficulties. In order to make children become creative talents, we must cultivate their strong willpower and let them establish indomitable courage and confidence in the face of difficulties.
10. Let the children's imagination fly.
Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. Indeed, creativity is impossible without rich imagination. So for us, in our daily life, we should give our children full imagination and an imaginary heart. Even if children put forward unrealistic and strange ideas, we should give them appropriate encouragement and fully protect their imagination.
