Child-rearing is a rewarding, beautiful, and amazing experience. But as a parent, there are dozens of frustrating and exasperating moments of self-doubt.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Provenzano gets it. He\u2019s spent over 15 years in the classroom to shape problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Oh, and he\u2019s a dad, too.<\/p>\n
Follow Mr. Provenzano as he explores the science behind creativity and the different things that parents can do to support their children as they grow up. He starts by digging deep into the research of Abraham Maslow, laying the foundations for creativity by identifying the basic needs of every child.<\/p>\n
Once he\u2019s established the baseline, Mr. Provenzano provides listeners with a robust set of tools to develop a child\u2019s creative and inquisitive nature: from the importance of play\u2014gameplay, unstructured play, sports, and even LEGO building sets\u2014to suggestions for toys and activities that help children grow to be creators instead of just consumers.<\/p>\n
Further, Mr. Provenzano reveals ways to organize inside your home to support creativity, as well as provides listeners with reasons to get children playing outside of the home. Learn the benefits of allowing children to take a certain type of risk in order to become more resilient, and increase self-esteem and confidence. And listeners will discover “Design Thinking” as a way to explore problem solving and critical thinking during project-based learning.<\/p>\n
Beyond improving parenting skills and giving fewer moments of doubt, this course may even introduce listeners to strategies to help harness their own creativity and critical-thinking skills. This course is a \u201cmust-listen\u201d for parents of children of all ages.<\/p>\n
