The ability to think is often a key to success and a brilliant career. Grows it out childhood fantasies and imagination, what we often forget when once again composed a tale or fiction shout your child: "it can't happen! "You write! ", "Brusca! ".But the imagination and without our cries with age becomes poorer. Don't believe? Let's do a simple test.
On a sheet of paper, draw three circles, three "ticks" and three wavy lines. Distribute draft to all members of the family. Complete each shape, so that the image only on the sheet will be nine). Compare the drawings. Will award one point for each original image.
No points will be awarded if: the circle turned into a ball, face, orange, balloon; from "the tick" was the stem of a flower, carrot or bird's beak; the wavy line became a snake, a worm, a rope, a scarf, a thread balloon, river, cloud, expensive, part of the ornament. Do not count and drawings, coinciding at least two members of the "experiment". Check out the results and compare them.
As a rule, children aged 5-7 years "earn" at least 7-8 points. But, alas, than older people, the less in his drawings found unusual, non-standard solutions. But to accept this fact in our age would simply unworthy of a sensible person. Since the days when knowledge was power, is gone, and now even the philosopher bacon hardly be doubted that his place occupies the imagination. Hence, it must be taken care of as soon as possible. Here are a few examples of how this can be done.
An old tale in a new way
Select story, well known to the child: "the Wolf and the seven young kids", "little Red riding hood", "Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka", "Snow white and the seven dwarfs". Start to talk as usual, but at some point the characters will come unexpectedly - for example: "the Kids realized that behind the door of evil wolf, but not scared, and decided to teach him a lesson. How do you think they did? "
To play with one tale 2-3 nights in a row, bringing and removing the "key moment" - the invasion of the plot" (for example, "Kids still trapped in the belly of the wolf, but began to think, how to be saved; and that's what's up... ").
A variant of this game - team "fairy tale". It involves characters from different fairy tales, various animals and, as a rule, the child as the main character.
My story
Ask your child to bring and put in a basket or small box 3-4 different subjects - for example, a mirror, a book, a favorite toy and Apple. "Shhh! Hush! Do you hear? It seems that they spoke. Probably introduced because these things had never met before. Let's hear what they say? ".
Think together "biography" of these items. Ask your child to help each of them find each other".
Why will it be useful?
In this game you can play for a walk, sitting in the queue in the clinic or during a trip on the subway.
Name any subject and turns with your child invent innovative ways of its application. For example the brick. They can crack nuts, nail, paint, it can be crushed and make an orange powder, used as oppression for sauerkraut... With the help of a mirror can be put of sunbeams, peeking around the corner, to draw pictures, write encrypted messages. And for what may come in handy egg shell, empty bottle, a wand?
Squiggly
This game is similar to the test above.
On paper, each participant draws some scrawl. Then change all the sheets and try to draw a squiggly to get famous, recognizable object.
Unknown animal
Tell the child: "Now I will turn you into a beast that no one had ever seen. One-two-three! (Cover the baby for a few seconds with a scarf to help him "switch".) Oh, Hello! Who are you? Where do you live? What do you like? ".
Imagination helps to develop empathy - the ability to feel sympathy, the ability to look at the situation from the perspective of another person. In the future, this greatly facilitates the building of relationships with different people. Therefore, we offer you to play with the child in a game that could be called "the World through the eyes of another".
Often children try to fit the suit" other: "I will mom, you're daughter", "I am a kitten, and you're a dog." Help baby - ask him to be a mouse, a butterfly, an elephant, a neighbor boy, alien, first came to Earth, a teacher from kindergarten. Ask him to draw a tree (Apple box), which sees he is a snail, he is a giraffe, he is a bird, he's a giant...
Often children with a rich imagination create your own monsters, which they are afraid. Remember, Chukovsky, "Wrong-shakalaka":
Well you threw the notebook, ceased to draw?
I'm afraid of her!
Do not worry, do not try to convince the child that it's all nonsense and stupidity, but actually the main thing." Remember - your baby a STRONG imagination, and, thanks to your classes with him, he already knows how to manage his fantasy, which will certainly be useful to him in the difficult adult life. Help him to come up with a "weapon", a way to win invented monster - and you give your child the self-confidence and ability to win the "monsters".
Parents tend to develop the child's imagination, it is worth remembering that a necessary condition for positive creativity is smooth, friendly atmosphere. Wherever you got the child's thought, he must be sure that there is a "quiet Harbor", where he will always find understanding and support. Do not dismiss children's issues (even, in your opinion, "stupid" and tedious), support creative endeavors, including the most fantastic teach your child philosophically survive the failure, not abandoning conceived, but inventing new ways to cope with the problem.
Feeling your support, your child will not only significantly increase your creativity, but you'll get used to use your imagination for setting goals and solving problems that surely would help him.
