"Being accommodating" a little bit will help children more creativeness
Since parents want their children to have a perfect competence of creativeness and create a perfect product (such as a particular toy) so that parents always put the pressure on their children. In fact, this pressure easily decreases their competence of creativeness.
Everybody can also promote their competence of creativeness if they possess levels of knowledge, experiences, and needed competence for creativeness activities. To children, the process of creativeness is considered to be more important than accomplishing a particular product.
Childhood is the period of creativeness and curiosity of their instinct. At that time, children usually live with their parents- people who can influence strongly children's creativeness.
Like father, like son: A child is brought up in the family in which his parents always communicate, share with their child such as writing poems, drawing pictures, telling some vivid stories. Therefore, everyday, do create many happy stories, happy activities, or talk about the neighbors.with your children. Encourage children to use new methods when they solve their troubles that they encounter. Children will promote their creativeness much more when even their parents also want them to develop their creativeness.

Judgment will restrain creativeness characteristic: If children realize that what they do will become the topics for adults to judge and criticize, they will step backwards to hold their grounds in dark ways. If parents tell "You have to fold this picture like what brother Hung does", children will understand that their parents consider that Hung's product is a model and they cannot follow their own ways because it is a simple way to follow exactly what others think. The consequence is that the creativeness will be replaced by closed minds. Therefore, parents have to admit and encourage their creativeness competence.
Be open to accept your children's characteristic: accept the studying, managing of children openly even when their works of art are not perfect or not yet perfect. Creativeness which is an imbalanced process contains all unexpected endings, wrong awareness, mistakes, and shiny sudden. With big-hearted characteristic, parents should admit their children's characteristic because the result of creativeness is way of expressing themselves containing their characteristic.
Do not put much pressure: Great expectations will make parents feel hurried and put much pressure on your children. In fact, competence of creativeness cannot upgrade when they are forced or pushed forwards but even decline. Maybe children spend a long time without the creativeness, but sometimes new ideas emerge suddenly. Therefore, you should be patient with your children.
Provide the resources that your children need: People cannot be creative in "vacuum environment". Children have to have many conditions to stimulate the emerge of new ideas. But these resources do not make your children more creative but create more conditions for them. Parents should provide the things which help children make boxes and toys. rather than buy for your children pictures of superman or electric dolls.
