Children spend most of their days following different sets of rules designed to tell them how to think, how to act, what to do in any given situation. But they need time to explore things outside of those rules if they are to be successful in the future. They need to be able to think creatively. Children are  naturally curious and innovative. They use their whole brain to figure out how the world around them works. But, with so many scheduled activities and an increase in the amount of homework, our children are becoming more and more reliant on being told what to do next. Being able to see things in a different way and think out of the box are essential to who children are and their future social and academic success.  Listen in as I give you some very simple ways to ignite your child’s imagination.
