Creativity is the greatest human potential and we need to work together to develop children's creativity start from home! The following are two important points for parents for reference.

First, parents should understand the characteristics of creativity. Children more creative are more sensitive to people and things, have more ideas, and always ask questions and not easily satisfy with simple answers. Creative children have their own opinions about questions, and not think in regular ways; like to think about new methods in using things; have strong curiosity, rich imagination; full of sense of humor; like to do more challenging and more difficulty things; very focused on novel things; and versatile.

Facing the child's creative action, parents should be patient, tolerant and praise to encourage children to see, hear, touch, manage and explore; listen to their expressions, and keen on his ideas; respect his views and curiosity.

Second, parents should make good use of the methods to inspire children creativity and implement in daily life. For example, try to make opportunity for children to participate in ...
... family affairs, and use his opinions as much as possible. Use some open questions, for example, "If you are lost in the market, what will you do?" "How to make the room layout more beautiful" "What can bricks do?" Let children try to put forward more other uses. Encourage children to try new ideas and offer them a free and quiet place to pursue their favorite work.

In addition to the above two aspects, there is a teaching model called "pattern analysis", which is an important way to stimulate children's creativity. It includes four steps: try to think the problem from different perspectives; list out the related main points about the problem; find out the possible change of every point; combine these possible changes to form many new ideas.

The "pattern analysis" is most suitable to use in speaking or writing teaching. For example, the baby reads a story about a homeless cat, list out the important elements in the story: the characters, time, place, things, etc. Then change these elements, for example, change the "time" from winter to fall; change the character from "cat" to rabbit; and change the place from American to China. Then guide the baby to use his imagination to make out a new story using these new elements. In short, the changing story will be full of wisdom, because this is the result of the child's complete "brainstorming".
