6 Ways to become more creative

Being creative allows us to be more flexible and become better problem solvers.  When you can solve problems you are able to help others at the same time!

1. Allow time to dream and wonder

One of the main ways to become creative is to wonder. Like why is the sky blue?     Why does the ocean water have waves and not the water in lakes or ponds?     How does gravity work?    And so on.    Find the answer to what you are curious about - this is a great way to be a better student - you will learn many things if you never stop wondering!

2. Share what you learn

Some kids are awesome at music, some kids are great playing sports, or reading, maybe math is your superpower!  Help those around you that might not be great at the piano, or can run as fast as you, help your friend read better, or show your classmate how to understand a math problem.  If you learn and do not share, you are not helping others!

3. There is more than one way to Solve Every Problem

There are multiple ways to solve a problem and also different perspectives to look at everything.  Be open to others, how they do things, how they think - you can learn a lot from others around you

4. Be Curious

We are born curious. When you are thirsty you get a drink of water, when you are curious you fill up your knowledge tanks with information that will help you for the rest of your life!

5. Read for fun

Limit TV or other screen time of your kids to make room for creative hobbies like reading as it encourages thought activity which in turn promotes creativity. If you can read for fun and not because you have to, you will fall in love with books

6. Try something new

Try something new - something that you have never done, you might find that you could unlock a fun new activity, sport or hobby that you would have never known about if you had not tried it for the first time

Being creative is very important - it helps us to think big, accept others and their differences and become a better person

Be creative today - try something new!
