How to develop children's thinking skills?

With the advent of the intelligent age, innovation has become the magic weapon for a person or a company to win, so the cultivation of children's creative thinking has begun to receive more and more attention from parents, but how to cultivate children's thinking ability?

In the eyes of many people, the development of thinking is difficult, such as the need to combine ideas, do division, splicing and so on. What I want to tell you here is that for children, the cultivation of thinking, there are not so many rules and regulations, completely exist in the life of the dots and dashes, so what should be done? This article organizes three points for your reference.

One, multi-dimensional senses

The formation of thinking comes from the child's cognition of the world and the accumulation of knowledge, so we should take the child to contact the world, through the sense of touch, vision, smell, and other five senses of feeling to experience different things, different emotions, and gradually accumulate enough knowledge to lay a solid foundation for creative thinking.

However, many parents pay too much attention to knowledge in their children's early education, such as teaching children to count and recognize numbers from the age of 2, which results in children investing too much energy in abstract knowledge, and lacking the ability to experience the world with their multi-dimensional senses.

Once on the road, I met a child who looked like he was five years old, and he was so focused on the numbers on the bus stop sign that he didn't even know that the bus he was waiting for was coming, so how can the child's thinking skills be enhanced in this situation?

Two, respect and encouragement

Many parents in the process of children's education, often stop the child some of the wrong behavior, but also will be their own think good things, imposed on the child.

This kind of education will bind the child to the framework of the parent's perception, and the child will even lose the ability to think on his own, and when he encounters something, he will only go to seek help from his parents.

Here we suggest that parents should allow their children to make mistakes, and we can even encourage them to make mistakes by guiding them to analyze and summarize their own shortcomings after making a mistake, so that they can improve next time.

This way the child will be able to think and analyze more on his/her own, and will be able to think about things from a different perspective.

In addition to this, it is also recommended that parents often discuss a certain topic with their children and encourage them to put forward their own views and ideas from different perspectives and guide them to refine their own views.

If the child's point of view is contrary to the parent's, the child should be recognized as long as he or she has a valid point of view, instead of using the parent's authority to force the child to accept his or her point of view.

Three, interest development

We all know that interest is the best teacher, so the education of children, cultivate interest is very important, the same exercise of children's creative thinking, interest is also very important. Children are willing to think and come up with different solutions only if they are interested.

The key to cultivating children's interest is to protect their curiosity, especially when children often ask questions that parents can't answer, don't be perfunctory or annoyed, we can explore the answers with our children and encourage them to be brave enough to put forward their own views.

Sometimes a child will come up with wild ideas, such as why it's raining, and he or she will think it's a little monster peeing in the sky. At this time, instead of rushing to give the child a cold, hard answer, we should first recognize that the child's idea is very wonderful, in order to promote the development of the child's imagination.

In the process of playing and reading, you can exercise your child's imagination, make them pay more attention and better develop their brain, which is a good way to cultivate attention. As long as parents are properly guided, reading and listening to stories can replace watching TV, and good reading habits from a young age will also help children develop good habits and pave the way for future learning.
