10、s and neverlearn how to express himself. As an art teacher says, “Children have a verypowerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learnlanguage easily.” In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is thebeginning of literacy and creativity. Also, parents shou
11、ld not teach theirkids“how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures toentertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents willdiscourage children, making them think they cant do it the “right”way.Competition and rewards should also be avoided in
12、the process of artistic creation.A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prizewhile drawing.Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like,“Icant draw a straight line.”Instead, they should learn to say,“I love tocreate.”This teaches
13、 children that the process of creation is more important thanthe product. If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively,they will do the same.Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making upstories, writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even t
14、he youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expressing himself.Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums, sciencecenters, libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other peoplescreativity. That will inspire children to make their own crea
15、tions and inventions.Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent forthemselves.
