It is the preschool age of the child that allows him to reveal and develop his creative abilities. Teachers believe that preschoolers learn everything in the world through play, as their imagination knows no bounds during this period of life.
What you need to know before you start developing your child's creativity
To successfully develop your toddler's creativity, you must be willing to do it yourself. Neither a child nor an adult does something well if they are forced to do it "under the duress." That is, the teacher, and in this case the parent or other relative, must start with himself.
Think about what you need from life and from your child. Write your main, global goals on a separate sheet of paper. When you have something to strive for, then you will convey this desire to your baby. If everything is in order with the goals, then it's time to understand that your child is interested in what takes him for a long time: drawing, modeling, singing, or something else and more than one.
A person can have up to 10 hobbies at the same time, but it is difficult to develop all of them at once. Get ready for your baby's hobbies to change. No need to panic and insist on continuing to study, for example, if the child wants to learn to draw and is capricious when you force him to learn the notes. The creative pursuit itself is also incredibly rewarding; it is a valuable experience that nothing can replace.
How to deal with a child
Your child may not excel at learning to read or count, but may be striking in originality of thought and creativity. Such gifted children require a particularly sensitive attitude towards themselves. Talent cannot be squeezed in any case, and if the basics of mathematics and the Russian language are sure to be taught to a child at school, then his creative abilities should be developed in the family and not given up halfway through this activity.
Get a nice spacious and bright creative corner for your little one. The complex should include a chair and table for the child's height, a lighting system (daytime and electric), a locker with several compartments for storing materials and finished works.
It would be nice to go to specialized exhibitions of children's creativity with a baby so that he can see what he can create with his own hands. Visit music schools for dance and singing performances by young artists. At home, talk to your child about what you saw, notice what especially inspired him.
It is also better to buy supplies and materials for creativity together with the baby. Often a child hesitates and wants to do everything at once or nothing at all, but as soon as he sees colorful and such attractive accessories for creativity, a specific desire is immediately formed. Be sure to purchase materials for neighboring areas of creativity. That is, drawing / sculpting / applique, singing / playing instruments, or embroidery / patchwork / weaving. It happens that, having sculpted a toy from clay, the kid is so keen on painting it that he smoothly moves on to drawing in the album.
Learn and develop with your child, enjoy each other's success. Study the experience of other parents and get ideas from thematic platforms and forums.
