Parents often provide a lot of stuff for their kids wishing they would learn new skills and get inspired by thoughts. However, what gets forgotten is that just providing stuff is not sufficient for kids; we also need to provide them ample time to explore things at their own leisure and at times even without imposing our pre-conceived notions of what needs to be done with the stuff.
Ex: We given them a toy train and then teach them to go around the house screeching "Kooo...chuk chuk chuk..." We are imposing our pre-conceived notion that a train can only make this kind of sound. Why not , for a change, try giving the kid a toy train and let him or her explore the train at their leisure. Guide them only when they come seeking your guidance...else just observe them from a distance. You will be marveled at their creativity and ingeniousness.
Here's a video to inspire parents and teachers....Creativity is not inspired by the pressure of time but by the freedom of playfulness and fun
