As parents, we often focus on helping our children “do things right.” But sometimes, the most powerful growth comes from letting them do things differently.
1. 🧠 Encourage questions, not just answers
When your child asks “Why?” or “What if?”, treat it as a gift. These questions show curiosity — the root of creativity. Instead of giving quick answers, explore together.
💡 Example: If your child asks, “Why do shops have sales?”, turn it into a mini-discussion about supply, demand, and customer behaviour.
🎯 Tip: Ask open-ended questions like “How else could we do this?” or “What would happen if…?”
2. 🎨 Create space for imagination
Children need time and freedom to play, invent, and explore. Give them materials — paper, boxes, string, old clothes — and let them build, design, or perform.
