Development of creative abilities in children

The development of creative abilities in children should start almost from the very moment of their birth. After all, at this time the child learns everything thatsees and hears. But even if you missed this time, do not despair. The main thing is that you start on time with your child at a later age. After all, the development of creativity in a child is most often the merit of parents, not kindergartens or schools.

So, where do you start developing the creative abilities of preschoolers? Each parent can choose by himself how he should deal with the child. Perhaps you want your child to play onmusical instruments or draw well. But others might think that it would be nice to teach a child to think creatively, thereby finding non-standard ways out of problem situations. Let's talk a little about every aspect of developing a child's creative abilities.

Let's start with a musical ear. It is known that a child hears people's voices andmusic, while still in the womb. During pregnancy, it is best for a woman to listen to classical music, thereby letting the child get used to melodic and beautiful sounds. But even after birth, you can continue to develop musical ear in the child. For example, you can use your own voice for this. You do not have to sing, just talk with the child, using a different tone of voice for this. Depending on the emotions that you experience or want to convey, change the tone and melody of your voice. And do not forget to watch your face: your emotions should not be duplicated by facial expressions, so as not to load the visual perception of the child.

Creative abilities in preschool children develop very quickly. And most importantly - do not miss the very same one peak of artistic creativity. In children, he is 3.5-4 years old. Since this age, the child's desire to draw is strongly supported. Often, parents do not want to give the baby to paint with paint only because they have to wash off the work surface after different colored divorces. Naturally, personally limiting the child from access to paints or pencils, parents then complain that their child can not draw. But in reality it was only necessary to encourage the child's efforts.

So, that is necessary for the development of creative abilities in children in this case? The main thing is to provide the child with physicalconditions for creativity. It will also be necessary for adults to participate in any attempts of the child to draw. Do not impose your own point of view on the baby. Do not say how beautiful it would be, it's your own opinion. If you do this a couple of times, your child will stop taking the initiative. Just adjust it in choosing colors.

Also do not forget that for any creative experiments you can not punish a child. Did your child paint curtains? Let it be. You can express your discontent, but do not punish. It is also worth noting that all art classes with the child should take place in an atmosphere of love. Your child should feel that he will not be threatened if something goes wrong.

It is also important to develop the creative potential of pre-school children. You ask, how to develop a child's imagination? And to begin with, try to protect it fromTV and play with him in various creative games. It can be games with different objects that you will endow with some or other characteristics. You can always imagine that simple sticks or pebbles are soldiers, cars, little animals ...

It is also important to pay attention to development of the child's speech potential. For this, it is best to play verbal games. For example, you can start with simple associations. Put a small object in the box and let the child guess what lies in it. Let your child ask questions, recognizing the shape, color, size, taste or other properties of this subject.

On the development of creative abilities in children affect various questions that they will have to answer. The fact is that children always ask the same typequestions about what happened, with whom or when. In the active stock of the child there is a small number of words with which he will formulate his questions. And so, after telling the story, do not rush to answer the child's next question. Instead, ask yourself a question about your story. Let your baby think that he could answer. By the way, this technique is used in kindergartens and schools, thus forcing children to develop their speech.
