Chilean Mine Rescue Is Creativity In Action – Inspire A Child!
I have believed for years that technology is one of most important aspects of our future. I do not discount music, medicine, gardening, the arts, or math. But, I do not understand how people can be resistant to technology.
I love technology. I certainly have not understood many aspects of it over the years. But, technology has allowed us to accomplish so much that we have taken it for granted. For example, our computers can provide so much functionality like talking on the phone, video conferencing, and watching TV.
Yes, there are some things to be cautious about such as cyber bullying and Internet predators. But, I have focused on the human creative power and endless possibilities.
As I watched the capsule arrive inside the Chilean mine, I could not help but be moved by how much the technology we take for granted has improved our lives. I was fascinated to watch images from a camera positioned more than 2,000 feet below the surface of the earth capture a signal and broadcast it around the world. It was a testament to the human imagination. The fact that I cannot make it happen does not stop me from being able to appreciate how awesome the rescue capsule and images are. Perhaps, had I had a better science and technology education when my mind was fresh, I could produce technical wonders. But, that is not my mission. My purpose is to help advocate for the imaginations and creativity of today’s children.
Inspire a child!
Gifts to Inspire Imagination
With Christmas around the corner, try finding gifts that will inspire your child’s or grandchild’s imagination. Themed furniture and manipulative toys make excellent gifts. Developing imagination is very important to developing critical thinking and problem solving skills. Pretend play and make-believe brings more smiles on the faces of children than all the other stuff they easily get bored playing once the novelty wears away. Imagination is forever! Building your precious little one’s imagination allows you to buy fun toys that help them with their education.
Pretend Play Children’s Themed Furniture Rocking Chairs
Watching excited children playing with a princess rocking chair, a pirate ship rocker, or an art center puts a smile on their parents’ and grandparents’ faces. Products like themed children’s furniture help create places that foster imagination.
During imaginative or pretend play, children can form new ideas and put together old ones. They imagine themselves in a range of adventures. While they play, they can sail the ocean sea and discover buried treasure while learning about motion and balance as their tiny pirate ship battles the imaginary waves. They can solve the nation’s problems as the queen on the throne. Their young imaginations think creatively during pretend play and make-believe.
Parents and grandparents can support young children’s academic development by providing rich learning environments filled with children’s themed furniture as well as and sensory auditory, kinesthetic and visual toys. Matching their unique interests builds enthusiastic lifelong learners. Children and students who think creatively develop thought processes that lead to great problem solving skills.
