KidCreativeMind

uly be well utilized. This workshop will help children with creativeproblem-solving methods while having fun in the process. By tapping intocreativity, and through encouraging imaginative paths to problem-solving, children will learn skills that provide them with the ability to solve problems -- great and small -- for a lifetime. While conventional thinking has an important place in a well-rounded education, students need to learn how to think creatively and productively. While solving problems the child will be encouraged to think aloud to say whatever’s is on his/her mind. The will be encouraged to not hold back hunches, guesses, wild ideas, images, plans or goals and to speak as continuously as possible. The workshop will train them in:

·Trying to say something at least once every five seconds.

·Speak audibly, watch for the voice dropping as they become involved.

·Get into the pattern of saying what you’re thinking about now, not of thinking for a while and then describing your thoughts.

·Though the experiments the child will not be talking to the experimenter. Instead, they are to perform the task as if they are talking aloud to themselves.

·How to think divergently by providing open-ended problems that appeal to a wide range of interests.

·Learn how to identify challenges and to think creatively to solve those problems.

·They are free to express their ideas and suggestions without fear of criticism. A typical 1 hour would be ( every class there will be a mix of things)

·Breathing / Meditation – Clearing their mind / hearing to theirheartbeat ( teaching them why that is so imp)

·Either a project or work on expression of thought - will focus each week on a different topic ( if we take science - we could talk about neurons and how they interconnect - and how your mind governs your body. If we take inventions we will talk about how concepts came about. focused on nature - how evolution happened - we will germinate plants that they will take back home).

·We will be constantly talking about Why / What and How, creatively solving problems. They will be given assignments to work over the week and bring back to the next class. These are just some of the things that they will work during the workshop - the main concept is the WHY /When / How - to ponder and question and push behind the boundaries. I am looking forward to working with your children and making them grow their potential and how great their minds work!.
