In order to cultivate children's divergent thinking ability, an open and positive family environment is essential. First of all, we should give children the space to think about flying. Don't bind children's thoughts, give them more opportunities to show themselves. For example, cooking a hearty dinner can let children participate in making recipes, exert their imagination and improve their participation.

Secondly, praise children more and don't care too much about the results. Don't blame the child for breaking the toy. Parents should care about the process, not the result. You can let your child talk about his ideas, and then analyze the process with him, find out the reasons for the failure, affirm his ideas and praise his process, instead of criticizing only after seeing the results, which will only stifle your child's imagination.

The third is to take more children to participate in practical activities. Imagination without foundation can only be fantasy, and imagination triggered by practice is valuable. Practical activities are the source of children's divergent thinking ability. Participating in practical activities can find the basis for children's thinking, give full play to children's imagination and combine with life.

The concrete manifestation of cultivating children's divergent thinking ability;

Read stories and make up stories: children like reading stories, because there is a better world in stories than reality. Children will fantasize that they are Snow White and explore in the fantasy forest alone. Reading stories can bring more imagination to children.

Making up stories can develop children's divergent thinking ability, let children create stories and design their own characters and plots. Parents can take the initiative to be children's listeners. If the child can't make up a complete story, parents can finish it with the child.

Create games: children like novelty, and they are tired of playing existing games. Parents can guide their children to create new games, such as different ways of playing cards, novel ways of playing chess and adapting traditional games such as playing house.

Children's ideas may be naive and ridiculous, and the proposed game may not be fair enough. Parents must not laugh at their children, but should accompany them to play, so that children can constantly improve the game in the process of playing, and finally be fair and interesting, which not only exercises their divergent thinking, but also their creativity.

Many things in life can exercise children's divergent thinking ability. The most important thing is that children can't restrain their thoughts and open the cage of their thoughts. The sky is their limit.
