If you think i    1     is only for adults, well, you’re wrong — because kids can be just as innovative as adults are, even more sometimes.

Here are four ways to teach your kids to be more creative:

Function follows form.

This is the idea of working backward where you start with a solution first and then work back to the problem. An example of this is the Ruined Product Exercise where you have your kids take any product around the house. Then ask them to make one change to the product where they’re going to make it worse. So they’ve got to take this seemingly ruined product and figure out some way to make it     2     (benefit) to people.

Constraints (限制) are important.

Teach your kids to realize that constraints are a necessary condition for creativity to occur. For instance, ask them to come up with an idea for the car. Then p    3     to take them into the car and tell them that they have to come up with an invention that only applies to people sitting in the backseat. This way, the kids are forced into a smaller, more constrained environment where they’re more likely to come up with a more creative idea than their first one.

Division technique creates opportunities.

The division technique basically involves taking a component, cutting it, then rearranging it somehow. One very good example is time which can be divided and rearranged, not physically but mentally. At first, just divide a(n)     4     (随机的) thing out of their day, move it to a different part of the day, and see if there’s a benefit to it. The lesson here is to get them to realize that moving the schedule around creates opportunities they may not have thought of otherwise.

Getting patents (专利) is possible.

The idea of patents has always a    5     to kids. A patent is a l    6     protection in business or engineering. But kids think they’re difficult to get. So you should get your kids to see that it’s very possible to create something and have it patented. Search the Internet for inventions by kids and you’ll find lots of examples. And this could be something they will get very excited about.

There are some teachers we never forget. They may teach us in our favourite subject or help us gain a    1     to university. For many of us, good relationships with our teachers are why we want to get into teaching in the first place.
