Make Your Child A Creative Genius

Painting, drawing, writing, creating, making, thinking, dreaming, playing ... These are all processes that awaken children's creativity and help them develop their capacity to grow and strengthen their analytical capacity and solve problems. You must encourage creativity from the first stages and with this, we will favor the learning of children.

Creativity is the key to success in many situations in life, something limits it to art or musical expression; Creativity is also indispensable for scientific thinking, mathematics, and social or emotional intelligence. Those who are creative can also "think outside the box", find new ways and work and play with others in an imaginative way. So it's worth promoting creativity. We have tips on how to stimulate creativity in children from a small playful point of view.

Mistakes are good
Children afraid of mistakes are also afraid to think creatively. Therefore, it is important to view mistakes as a way to learn rather than to convey that the child has just failed. If something disappoints your child, encourage them with input such as "What can we do to change the situation?" Or "you try it again?". Likewise, constant praise can also be a hindrance to creative development because it gives the child the feeling they no longer need to search for inner motivation.

Do not correct the child
He may paint hands with three fingers and enormous heads, but it is his way of doing it, he is learning and is shaping his drawings. If we correct him constantly, it can frustrate him, when he feels he does it wrong.

Invite the child to think for himself
Do not tell him how to do it or what colors to use. Let him try colors or shapes and help him with advice and guidance but not forcing him to follow dictations.

Stimulate imagination
Try to teach your child from an early age that reading is fun and art can be enjoyable. The more creative influences come from the outside, the sooner your child will live out his or her own imagination. So, read together at bedtime, take time to paint or make things, for example, and visit museums or theatrical performances rather than sitting in front of the TV.

Progress instead of results
Much more important than having your child perform at a young age is that it enjoys what it does. Above all, the emphasis is on progress instead of end results: "Do you enjoy playing the piano?" this type of question is much more conducive than targeted expected benefits.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
