When your child proudly shows you a drawing, a Lego tower, or a funny little invention… your instinct is to smile and say: 👉 “That’s nice!” 👉 “Good job!” But here’s the problem: Those words, though well-meaning, train kids to look for external validation instead of building internal motivation. Every time we say “good” or “nice” — we close the loop. The child thinks: ➡️ “Was it good enough for mom/dad?” Instead of: ➡️ “Am I proud of what I created?” And that small difference is HUGE. Because creativity and imagination thrive on self-expression, not approval. 🌟 What to Say Instead Next time your child shows you something, try: - “How do you feel about it?” - “What part do you like most?” - “What made you think of this idea?” - “Are you happy with what you created?” These questions shift the focus from your judgment to their reflection. They encourage kids to: ✔️ Think about their own process ✔️ Take ownership of their creativity ✔️ Learn that the value of art or ideas comes from within, not the outside world ✨ Why This Matters for Imagination If kids grow up always chasing gold stars and “good jobs” … they stop taking risks. But when they learn to trust their own joy in creating, they grow bold, imaginative, and self-driven. And in the AI age, this is everything. Machines can replicate skill. But only humans with confidence in their imagination can create new worlds, new ideas, and new futures. 💡 So the next time your child shows you their messy, magical creation — don’t rate it. Ask about it. Let them feel the power of their own imagination. ab If you think today's article means even a little to you, support me by spreading the word.

Objective: Build divergent thinking — using one object in many unexpected ways. You'll Need: Any spoon (big, small, wooden, or even a plastic picnic spoon), paper, and a pen. How to Play: 1. Sit with your child and place the spoon between you. 2. Say: “Today, this spoon forgot it was a spoon. What else could it be?” 3. Let your child call out ideas — don’t judge them. 4. After every idea, respond with enthusiasm: “Yes! And then it could also…” 5. Write or draw each idea. 6. Keep going until you have at least 20 ideas. Parent Clues (Probable Answers): - Obvious: a shovel, a drumstick, a wand. - Silly: a giraffe’s tongue, a spaceship, a dinosaur’s tooth. - Clever: a mirror (if shiny), a catapult, a microphone for an ant. Level-Up Twist: Ask an AI image generator to “Show me a magical spoon that is also a dragon” and watch your child’s idea come alive.
