Tips on Finding Your Child’s Passion

Today, I’m sharing parenting advice on finding your child’s passionAll children are creative in their own way. They play and invent, they come up with worlds that you couldn’t dream of yourself.  But, while creativity is a natural thing for kids some are more creative than others. To help foster this creativity, there are plenty of things that you can do as a parent.

Here a few tips on finding your child’s passion:   

 

Let Them Play

Every child loves to play.  To them, it’s more than idly messing around with their Legos or dolls. When playing, kids  are creating. Whether they are inventing absurd family drama with Melody Jane Dolls Houses or reenacting the best action scenes they’ve seen on TV.  Either way, they are indulging in their creativity and developing tools needed for story-telling and more. 

While it’s essential for kids to learn, it’s just as essential to allow them to play. Furthermore, when playing with friends, they learn to be creative collaboratively.  And, this is something that will benefit them later in life. Rather than push them towards education every free moment, allow them to play and create, also.

Make a Creative Space in the Home

While most kids will be happy to play and create in their bedroom or the living room, it’s not always ideal. Especially, when you’re struggling to keep the house tidy.  So, try putting together a creative space for them to indulge and discover that creative spark. 

Not only will this space keep the rest of the house tidy, but it will also encourage their brains to associate such an area with being creative. Inside, you can fill it with toys, musical instruments, and blank sheets of paper where they can draw and paint. They’ll discover what they love, and pursue it further. 

 

Introduce Them to Books, Songs and More

There’s a lot to be said about letting the TV be the parent for your kids.  But, exposing them to appropriate media can help give them inspiration for their creative ideas.  They will borrow from other media to create stories, and it will help them invent their own characters and scenarios.

Expose them to music, especially if they’re not proficient at an instrument yet. Rather than invent their own melodies, they can copy existing songs, which gets them used to using an instrument and improve their skills. 

 

The Creative Spark

Every child has a spark of creativity nestling within them. Rather than suppress it, you can encourage the creativity spark to ignite and flame into something beautiful.  Regardless of which creative activity they end up pursuing, it will help them to grow, change, and learn.  And, this is something that every parent should encourage in their children.
