The knowledge economy era has arrived quietly. Innovation is the soul and pillar of the knowledge economy, and without knowledge and technological innovation, there would be no knowledge economy. In the knowledge economy era, there is a call for creative talents. Therefore, the most important issue 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, family education, with parents as the first teachers of children, undoubtedly carries an irreplaceable mission 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 key project under the "15th Five-Year Plan" for the National Education Science Research that the author is currently undertaking—"Action Research on Promoting the Development of Young Children's Creative Personality and Creative Abilities."
The compilation of this book highlights the following two features:
1. Closely linking creativity training with children's real lives to avoid purely "formalized" training, emphasizing the "life-oriented" aspect.
2. While developing children's creativity, it also integrates educational guidance and permeation in areas such as social skills, emotions, and values, 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, etc. It is hoped that parents can strengthen the cultivation and training of children's creative personalities.
