There is no doubt that success in creativity lurks in personal emotional perception and emotional experience gained in early childhood. Embryos of creativity lie behind children's fantasies, emotional impressions, individual perception of what is happening. But for adults this particular perception of reality seems rather primitive and not worth much attention.
Sometimes you can see a picture when an adult draws an object, or simply shows the picture to the baby and voices the name of the subject that is depicted. A kid sees this in a peculiar way. The child seems that the machine looks like a good courtyard dog, and a teapot - a fish. But the adult demands from the child that he remembered the correct name from the point of view of the parent. The parent tries to teach his child a patterned social perception and understanding of things, and misses the fact that the child treats the world creatively.
The parent needs to change himself, first of all, to develop the creative potential of the child. Modern adults do not know how to play, fantasize like a child, they want to look serious, instead of having fun or naughty. They are afraid to break social rules of behavior. However, excellent therapeutic means that can give an opportunity to relax, relax, be inspired is a game, creativity, a free flight of fantasy.
Playing together with your child, showing imagination, adults can change themselves. Only a person who constantly develops personality can support a baby in his story about a magic dog that was given to him, build a house of old boxes, become a non-existent animal and invite a neighbor's kitten and a typewriter to visit. The basis of creative activity is the composition of a fairy tale, rhyming, writing a poem together with one-year-old child.
It is interesting that the methods of popular education include the development of the imagination of the child. Folk pedagogy can adapt any household item into a toy: starting with a coil with threads, colored ribbons and pieces of cloth, wooden sticks, branches, up to a bandaged sleeve or a socks in the form of a head and with a skirt from below. During homework, the parent sits the baby by his side and gives him the opportunity to play with different household items. A wooden spoon can be rolled on a hand, from a knee, from a pillow, put on a child's head, or put on a shelf, while saying: "Ah, where have you climbed! Now get him! " Oh, how handsome, from above admires you, but smiles! "
In the people in creative games, any object can quickly change its meaning: pebbles, which before were chicken and chicken, instantly turn into soldiers or train with trailers. A wooden spoon, tied with a handkerchief, represents an important lady, and in a minute she can become a cradle with a baby, if you untie a shawl and shake a spoon on it.
It is also often used play-dramatization, in which the child himself is the main object of beating. For example, they perform such imaginary actions with the baby: "Oh, now I'll throw such a restless child on the tree!" - and immediately add: "No, I will not do it, because my Vanya is obedient and kind!". Games in which adults portray an animal are very famous: a bull or a horse, while offering the baby to ride and feel how difficult it is to hold onto a horse when it wags its tail.
This kind of fun trains the memory of the child, favorably influences the development of the imagination, develops the emotional sphere and the desire to explore the world.
Of particular importance is popular pedagogy: it is the use of jokes and suggestions, the accompaniment of games by tapping and taping, joint games in which the child needs to move with the adult to the beat. Accompanied by a rhythmic simple melody, new words, phrases and even poetic lines are easier to remember. With the regular use of such games, the kid himself will start rhyming words, picking up rhyme for new names. This is all called word-making. It is important for parents not to miss the moment when the kid begins to do it, to support him, praised his new ability, necessarily stimulate the further development of this talent. To do this, you can offer the child to learn a short poem, it is likely that even in a foreign language, a children's song or dance, which is accompanied by poems and a rhythmic melody.
Be prepared for the fact that many kids see in their own way, the perception of the world in the baby differs from the perception of an adult. Do not obey the stereotypes in the training of the baby, even if you have a positive experience with using any techniques from your friends. It is necessary to create conditions for the child to develop his individual abilities, based on the potential of the baby. After all, in the end, the main thing is how much the creative potential of the child will be manifested, and how much its possibilities are realized, and not the education of the genius.
