Features: The knowledge economy era has arrived quietly. Innovation is the soul and pillar of the knowledge economy; without knowledge innovation and technological innovation, there would be no knowledge economy. In the knowledge economy era, there is a call for creative talents. Therefore, one of the most important issues for education in the 21st century is how to maximize the development of human creative potential and cultivate a large number of creative talents. As an integral part of the national education system, parents, as the first teachers of their children, undoubtedly bear an irreplaceable responsibility in developing children's creative potential. This book is a of the author's long-term research on the development of children's creative potential, and also an applied outcome of the author's ongoing national educational science "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" key project—"Action Research on Promoting the Development of Young Children's Creative Personality and Creative Ability." The writing of this book highlights the following two features: 1. It closely links creativity training with children's real lives, avoiding purely "formalized" training and emphasizing "liveness." 2. While developing children's creativity, it also considers the guidance and integration of education in social skills, emotions, values, and other aspects, reflecting the "integration" of educational activities. Due to the limitations of the illustrations, many important aspects of creative personality cannot be fully demonstrated in this book, such as the cultivation of resilience, the spirit of daring to think, speak, and act. It is hoped that parents can strengthen the cultivation and training of children's creative personality.
