To understand how children can think and imagine this way, Bored Panda contacted Jane McKay, the founder of Creative Kids Art Lessons. She is a professional artist and primary classroom teacher with over 30 years of experience. Creative Kids Art Lessons provides lesson plans for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents who want to do art projects with their children at home. Jane explained that “children don’t have constraints on what is possible or logical, so their imagination runs wild. Children are also learning all the time, it is literally their job description to learn! So, they use their imagination and creativity every day. Children also have time to play, experiment, and explore. The integration of new experiences and ideas through play also feeds their imagination.” SeductionWhisper , Maksim Romashkin Report

This kind of thinking is also important for problem-solving. It can help a growing child see beyond the existing rules of the world and consider new ways to approach almost every situation. Complex-Pass4023 , Burak The Weekender Report

Jane shared a different perspective. She explained that “people with overactive imaginations become writers, movie directors, artists, entrepreneurs, dancers, musicians and other types of creatives. These are the problem solvers of the world; creativity is essentially solving problems. That is what the world needs now, though people with overactive imaginations just may not be able to handle scary movies!” yourdigigirlfriend , Allan Mas Report

Jane shared that “anything creative, [like] writing, music, cooking, exploring the outdoors, drawing, making things, and reading all aid the development of ideas, and each creative area feeds into other areas of the imagination. Children thrive on encouragement and support. Let them play, make a mess, use old cardboard boxes to make a car, a fort, or a treehouse. Provide art materials, paper, and pencils so children can create.”  “If you can afford extra classes in the area of your child’s interest, look into those, so you get an expert expanding their experiences. Also, allow time for your child to play; don’t over-schedule kids so they have something every day after school and on weekends. Allowing kids to get bored is also good. They have to come up with ideas of what to do themselves,” she added. Bitter_Sea6108 , fauxels Report

People even think it’s not mature to have silly, ridiculous, or over-the-top ideas. Therefore, in adulthood, insecurity takes center stage, and our childhood imagination takes a backseat. We should try our best to undo this. Jane also said that “as adults, we tend to stick with things we know how to do and are not often out of our comfort zone, so we tend not to be as creative. Sadly, as adults, we also don’t allow much time to play or try new things.” Time_Ad7995 , Maarten van den Heuvel Report
