Four ways to boost your child’s creativity from home

Promoting creativity in schoolchildren during this juncture is essential for personal development because it helps to reinforce the student’s self-esteem, autonomy and security, says Frida Melgar, academic director of Continuing Education at Toulouse Lautrec, who explains that activities focused on exploring the creativity are an excellent option.

Therefore, the specialist offers four recommendations to help enhance the creativity of children and young people without leaving home.

Encourage curiosity for art. The learning process should be a motivating experience, and the role of parents is to provide them with spaces and tools so that they can express their creativity in what they like the most. Activities such as music, dance, painting, among others, are identified as activities that are done purely for pleasure and in free time, so their motivation becomes even more potent, therefore, their creativity as well.

Opt for innovation workshops. The holidays are also a good time to participate in various useful activities that get out of the routine. There are workshops that focus on innovation, based on fun for learning.

Creative photo sessions. Nowadays, thanks to smartphones, there is a perfect opportunity to photograph everything that seems interesting, which helps to start many cognitive processes. It is a way of putting the observer perspective into practice, which allows collecting information, learning from others, making better hypotheses, finding different alternatives, being more objective and more, adds the specialist.

Brainstorming is always a good idea to innovate solutions. Depending on the specialty, brainstorming is always a fun challenge. “Finding solutions, whether real or not, encourages freedom of expression, and with it, imagination. It is a fun way to find different solutions without clinging to one, it also helps your safety, creating a space for free expression, where every idea, no matter how far-fetched, is valid “Melgar comments.
