Letting Imaginations Run Wild
“And now,” cried Max, “let the wild rumpus start!” Where The Wild Things Are is an all-time classic in children’s literature, and a perfect example of what happens when little imaginations run wild. Max creates himself a boat and sails aware, to where the wild things are. Children are capable of creating wonderful worlds with just the power of their minds; we see it every day at our childcare Fairfield centre. Very little ones, aged just one and two, are still learning how the world works, and in their minds anything is possible! Playing often with your under-twos will help them to think creatively and to feel confident as they explore the world. They will love dressing up and playing pretend games. These activities might seem silly to you, but don’t squash that creativity. Descriptive storytelling will delight your child and inspire imagination. Even the littlest ones will also enjoy a chance to try artistic expression- finger painting may be messy but it sure is fun! Slightly older children can get more involved in role play, and by three and four may get right into pretending to be a doctor, or fireman or fairy. Playing these games with friends and peers encourages language development and teaches skills like sharing and taking turns. For ages five and six, stretch those imaginations to the limit by asking them to retell a favourite story but with a variation- or, get them to explain what happened next when the story finished. The kids at our childcare Fairfield centre are regularly engaging in games and activities just like these.
The Purpose Of Imagination Over Reality
If you can install a strong sense of imagination into your children, you will be setting them up for life. Imagination is not just something kids use in the playground. Adults with a strong imagination have a skill set that will serve them through study and work, as well as in their relationships. While being able to be practical when needed is an important skill to have, being able to dream big is also important. Imagination can help us find our passion- to work out what our hearts truly desire, and to think of some creative ways of achieving those goals. Our imaginations shape our future- it has to do with the power of positive thinking. Having a good imagination helps us to gain momentum towards positive change, rather than thinking in a negative way about the possibilities. Plus, if you’ve got a problem, imagination could help you more than any practical solution could. Imagination allows us to innovate our thinking; to create new and completely out there ways of responding to issues in our lives. Teaching your kids how to use their imagination will help them grow up into creative, adaptable and open-minded adults. We make supporting imagination a priority at our childcare Fairfield service.
