First, the importance of creativity 1, starting from the individual itself. Creativity is an important criterion to measure a person's intelligence. What conditions should a smart brain meet? First, the same homework can be easily completed by a smart person without blowing off dust; Take all kinds of exams, you can pass easily without burning the midnight oil, and your grades are good. Second, deal with problems flexibly and creatively. Cleverness does not refer to physical strength and skill, but to ability and creative problem-solving ability. 2. The future society needs innovative talents. Scientists who explore the laws and principles of the unknown world, writers who create immortal images, entrepreneurs who are good at managing money, workers who invent and design new products and people who make achievements in all walks of life are all creative talents. To be such a person, everyone should have the spirit of innovation and the ability to solve problems creatively. This shows how important it is to cultivate children's creativity from an early age. Second, how to cultivate children's creativity in the family. There are many ways to cultivate creativity. School and society, of course, as the main place of preschool education-family, are the cradle of creativity cultivation. As the first teacher of children, parents shoulder the important mission of cultivating children's creativity. (1) The first step is to discover children's creative sparks and protect children's creative buds. Parents should pay attention to discovering the bud of children's creativity, protect their original creative consciousness and innovative spirit, and make their creativity develop continuously. As Mr. Chen Heqin, a child educator, said: "Children have a strong desire to create by nature. As long as we pay attention to induction in education and let children practice exploration, we will cultivate creativity and make children become outstanding talents that meet the requirements of the times. " Otherwise, this precious innovative spirit will be stifled in the cradle, and children will only grow up by imitating kimonos, losing the opportunities, conditions and confidence for creation, and eventually they may become mediocre people who lack their own opinions and be abandoned by the times. How to find 1? We should understand that children's creation is different from that of adults. Every child is a creator of genius. When you see your child take apart the newly bought toys, look around and say that you want to study them, when your child grabs a question and asks what's next, when your child talks to himself while playing with the doll's household toys, these are all flashes of children's creativity. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, the pioneer of creative education in China, once pointed out: "everywhere is a place of creation, every day is a time of creation, and everyone is a creative person." What children can't do before is a kind of creation; What others didn't expect but what children thought was a kind of creation; Everything that is done better on the basis of the child's original relationship with others is creation. For example, when I was wearing clothes, one day I found that I would put the pattern under it so that I wouldn't wear it backwards. There is one more chimney than the drawing when building blocks. 2. Have a correct understanding of creative thinking. Creative thinking not only refers to flexibility and seeking the opposite sex, but also includes fluency. Example: What flavors have you tasted? What did you taste when you were eating? Everything is sweet, but things are different, fluency, other tastes and elasticity. The younger the child, the smoother he behaves. ● How to protect traditional bad children from a new perspective? Traditional bad boys are either too naughty, too stubborn or too strange. Research shows that "bad boys" contain the possibility of developing creativity. Psychologists point out that the more rebellious, judgmental, eccentric and eccentric, the smarter the lying child is, the more likely it is to create a child with rich imagination and many mistakes in solving problems, and the more likely it is to develop faster. Children with many problems are more promising than children who know everything. The more naughty a child is, the more creative he is, and the more imaginative he is, the more potential he has for development. (2) The second step, through various ways of training and random education. 1, set an example and influence children with their own words, deeds and lifestyle. One of the most important means of family education is to set an example. Parents are children's first teachers, and everything you say and do is the object of children's imitation. Your thoughts and lifestyle have a subtle influence on your children. Imagine how a pair of conformist parents educate their children to be creative, and how to appreciate and protect their children's creative sparks. On the other hand, if you are a father who comes up with all kinds of new ways to play when children are playing, or a mother who is good at creating a beautiful environment by using things around you, and you are an innovative person in work and life, then at least, your children will think that creation is a happy thing and an interesting thing for you. We say that interest is the best teacher, and only when they are interested will they …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ★ Criteria for buying toys: Choose toys with multiple functions that children need to operate, rather than toys with single function and audio-visual orientation. Buying semi-finished toys is not as good as buying finished toys. ★ Don't buy toys, and provide more waste items to improve children's substitution ability. ★ Let children explore and try to play with new toys first, instead of teaching them how to play or look at drawings first. Allow children to collect worthless things. ★ Allow children to arrange toys in their own way. Home is different from kindergarten ... there is no need to overemphasize cleanliness. 3. Painting and creation are good ways to cultivate creativity. "Painting": Painting is the easiest way to arouse children's imagination, and it is also their favorite form of image expression. Although painting skills are not high, it can express children's thinking process. For children's paintings, we should not only pursue how "like" they are, but encourage them to "think" as much as possible. If you draw many circles on paper, let the children imagine adding pictures to see what the circles can "change". Children may think of a panda, a string of balloons, a group of chickens, a pile of pebbles, a star ball in the sky and so on. From a sun, a biscuit, an avatar, a flower and a ball. In addition, you can play music with different emotions, so that children can draw their own understanding of music according to the performance of music. For children's paintings, parents should be imaginative critics instead of connoisseurs. Don't focus on whether a child can become a painter. Let's see if the child's imagination has been fully exerted. "Editing": the continuation of the story ending and the imitation of poetry are the high standards of creativity. As an art of image language, stories are deeply loved by children. In the process of listening to stories, children associate corresponding images and activities through the description of words. In order to develop children's creative imagination, when telling stories, we should pay attention to training children to continue to make up the ending of the story, and often have a "listen to the next chapter", such as what happened later? How is he? ..... guide children to expand their imagination from multiple angles, and continue. Goethe's mother is a German poet, who has been consciously trained since he was 2 years old, which has a great influence on Goethe becoming a famous poet and playwright. Poetry imitation, parents can choose short and repetitive poems for children, such as "home": the blue sky is the home of white clouds (birds), the clear river is the home of fish (shrimp), the green grass is the home of rabbits (sheep), and the tall trees are the home of woodpeckers (magpies) ... 4. Parent-child interaction and thinking. Thinking is the premise of creation, and its creativity is mainly manifested in the creative thinking of preschool children. Creative thinking refers to the unique thinking process in creative activities, which is the comprehensive expression of various thinking forms and the core of creativity. Parents should encourage their children to think more, ask more questions and put forward their own different views and opinions. When Newton saw the apple fall from the tree, he wanted to know why the apple didn't fly into the sky, but fell. It was Newton's creative thinking that made him put forward the famous "law of gravity". Cultivating and training children's creative thinking today is precisely to develop their potential creativity tomorrow. In the family, to cultivate children's creative thinking, we should emphasize how to actively find answers other than "ordinary" questions, and emphasize the flexibility of thinking activities and the transfer of knowledge. Parents should especially appreciate their children's novel and unique ideas. Even if the idea is naive or even wrong, we should first affirm their innovative spirit, and then patiently tell them where they are wrong and guide them to learn to think purposefully, in many ways and from many angles. Third, the problems that should be paid attention to in the process of cultivating creativity. 1, don't arrange everything for children, leave room for children to think and have opportunities for creation. Now that our conditions are good, a child is often concerned by many people, and it is easy to see too many deaths and too much concern. "It's too dangerous", "It's too dirty" and "It's too slow and troublesome for you to come by yourself. I'll do it". Then, the child will move in the small area you define. He doesn't need to think, explore or try, because you have thought for him and done what he wants to do for him. 2. Teach children some necessary knowledge and skills as the basis of creation. Knowledge and experience are the source of creativity, and creativity is based on rich knowledge and experience. For children, rich knowledge and experience and a certain level of intelligence are the basic conditions for the development of creativity. Parents can enrich their children's life through various activities, broaden their horizons, take their children to nature, watch all kinds of trees and flowers, distinguish their similarities and differences, and understand the relationship between plants and the environment; Look at the different forms of animals and distinguish their appearance characteristics and living habits; Collect seeds, catch insects and make specimens; Look up at the beautiful floating white clouds in the blue sky; Enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunrise in the east and sunset in the west ... In addition, we should provide children with reading materials and audio-visual materials suitable for their physical and mental age characteristics to enrich their knowledge, which should be as wide as possible, from astronomy to geography, but we should pay attention to explaining them in simple terms in the form of games and stories. For example, after children know the common sense about the earth, they can be inspired to observe and imagine, compare their heads to the earth, and make up a children's song to sing: "Shuai Shuai's head is the earth, with mountains (noses), lakes (eyes), rivers (mouths), plains (foreheads), basins (faces), small mounds (ears) and dense forests. In short, we should enrich children's daily life from various channels and aspects, increase accumulated knowledge and experience, and lay a good material foundation for the germination of children's creativity. It can be seen that the connotation of cultivating children's creativity in the family is extremely rich. Only when parents understand what creativity is can they discover, protect and develop their children's creativity. Of course, although all people are creative, not all people have creative geniuses like Edison, Wright brothers and Franklin. Therefore, there is no need to expect too much from children's budding inventions. As long as there is a little sign, we should try our best to explore, cultivate and further strengthen training. Creativity is the growing point of children's growth. Being kind to him means being kind to children's lives and protecting and developing their creativity, which is the first step to cultivate creative talents. In ordinary life, as long as parents pay attention, creation will definitely make children's lives more colorful. In short, while changing ideas, be a conscientious person and use the educational factors around you to cultivate children's creativity. | More
