“Joint creative activity of children and their parents
in the educational process"
The key task of modern state policy of the Russian Federation is to ensure the spiritual and moral development and education of the personality of a Russian citizen.
“Spiritual and moral development and education of the individual begins in the family. It is family values, acquired by a child from the first years of life, that are of lasting importance for a person at any age and form the basis of civil behavior in society.”
Parents play a vital role in a child's life. Parental love is the source and guarantee of human well-being, maintaining physical and mental health. That is why the first and main task of parents is to create confidence in the child that he is loved and cared for. Deep, constant psychological contact with parents gives the child the opportunity to feel and realize parental love, affection and care.
The basis for maintaining psychological contact is a sincere interest in everything that happens in a child’s life, sincere curiosity about his childhood, even the most trivial and naive, problems, a desire to understand, a desire to observe all the changes that occur in the soul and consciousness of a growing person. It is necessary to communicate with children from a young age: without communication, without constant concern for arranging common leisure time and common affairs with them, parents will not be interested in their own children.
The main values of educational activities in the system of additional education are the child, his development, childhood as the special life of a child, educational space as an environment conducive to personal development. Therefore, additional education has great potential to help parents establish and maintain psychological contact with the child, spiritual and moral development and education of all participants in the educational process.
One of the forms of interaction between additional education institutions and students’ families is family clubs and workshops. Organized joint creative activity is the inclusion of the parent in the child’s activity. This is a situation in which a child, faced with a certain difficulty, has the opportunity to turn to a parent for help. And the parent gets the opportunity to do the work together with the child. As a result of joint creative activity and common interests, the child and parent reach mutual understanding and become closer to each other.
Joint creative activities with children 3-4 years old
Joint creativity between children and parents brings undoubted benefits. In addition to the development of intelligence, attentiveness, abstract and spatial thinking, memory, fine motor skills, a sense of unity with the parent develops. The baby feels that his mother is next to him and supports all his endeavors. This has a positive effect on the baby’s mental development and provides additional incentive.
Children need to be taught creativity
How to attract children to creativity
It should be remembered that the child has not yet developed this type of joint leisure, so at first he may be a little distant.
For your information! You can’t put pressure on the baby, you need to gently guide him. It is better to demonstrate a desire to work with him in a soft, enticing manner, then he will certainly join his parents.
All actions must be spoken out, the baby must be praised and criticism must be excluded. The child should have his own supplies that he will not be afraid to get dirty; his own creative corner is desirable. It is forbidden to force a child if he is not in the mood.
Advice! Classes will go easier if the parent boasts about their joint achievements to their relatives. Then the baby will be filled with pride and will happily look forward to the next classes.
How to find an individual approach to your baby
An individual approach should be based on the child's abilities and needs. The baby should like what he does. After all, people are different, and children are no exception. One kid will be happy to draw, another will be happy to paint, and the third will prefer sewing. Choosing the wrong activity will take away all interest. An element of play should be introduced into classes. It is imperative to take into account that one child is nimble and careless, while the other is careful and slow. Creative activities with children should take into account their characteristics. Class times may also vary for different children.
Parents should help develop
How to Add Appeal to Creativity
Rules for parents:
- Be cheerful and express emotions sincerely.
- Conduct the lesson in a playful way.
- An unusual lesson format will attract more attention.
- Develop in the child the habit of participating in all the endeavors of the parents.
- Practice according to simple rules.
- Praise the baby.
The role of drawing in the development of a child
Drawing gives children invaluable opportunities. Using child's drawing:
- expresses himself;
- splashes out negativity;
- calms down.
Drawing helps develop thinking
The baby comes up with an idea, the creation of which necessarily involves the areas of the brain responsible for memory, attention, and imaginative thinking. The baby becomes more attentive, learns to analyze and notice details. The child develops a creative style, his own fiction and fantasies appear.
Conversation about professions in the preparatory group
For your information! The advantage is that in the process of drawing the hands are involved - this is how fine motor skills develop, and along with it memory, vision and logical thinking.
Speech skills improve and perseverance appears. The child develops talent and is also able to appreciate someone else’s work.
Creativity for children 3 and 4 years old must necessarily include classes in fine arts.
The benefits of modeling for mental development
Creativity with kids always includes modeling. Modeling is characterized by stress relief, it has a great effect on the baby’s brain. After modeling, most children feel calm and relaxed. Modeling has a positive effect on all types of thinking. The baby learns to observe, remember and repeat the actions of an adult. Improves attentiveness and patience. The young master gets the opportunity to express his feelings and emotions, so as a result, imagination and creativity develop. The baby analyzes better and becomes more receptive to mathematical measurements. Improved speech skills provide an additional incentive.
Joint creativity is a universal recipe for friendship!
Isn't there enough room for children's creativity? You can string beads, sew clothes for numerous dolls and show off your remarkable abilities as a fashion designer. Even an ordinary game of construction may well become a creative outlet for children. After all, it is possible to independently invent and draw up designs for houses, shops, and even build an entire city. The main thing is not to stop children from expressing themselves, and you will be surprised to discover a lot of abilities in them!
Creativity is an important component in the life of any child, and it was created specifically so that two kids have something to do together. Creativity with children will help children learn to communicate not only with each other, but also with others.
A performance for two: the whole world is a theater, and the children in it are actors!
Children also cannot do without theater. Why not create it together? You can find a variety of dolls, build a screen with your own hands and go! Kids can easily play the roles of dolls on their own, and parents will enjoy watching the performance. After all, kids are extremely smart and will figure out what needs to be said and done to arouse the interest of the public. They just need to be allowed to fully open up. By the way, if you wish, you can make dolls with your own hands, spending time on creativity with your children.
Fun drawing is the calling of two young artists!
Drawing is a great opportunity to develop both children at once. This activity can maximally develop fine motor skills, a sense of color, the development of imagination and many other aspects of raising children. This activity also tends to delight absolutely all kids. It's hard to find a child who doesn't like drawing.
Under the supervision of a parent, children will be able to fully bring all their ideas to life with the help of markers, pencils and paints. You can even paint the children’s palms, which they will then use with great pleasure to leave prints on sheets of paper, and perhaps even on a large Whatman paper. After all, you can then decorate it with something else and hang it on the wall, creating a unique composition for decorating your home. Children will happily remember the time spent together while looking at it!
Coloring books, of course, give less room for imagination, but they can perfectly teach kids to be neat.
Interesting possibilities are provided by a non-standard approach to the usual process - instead of paper, use crafts made from salt dough, bottles or cups, pebbles, instead of brushes - hands, cotton swabs, potato stamps. Arouse your children's imagination, infect them with a new idea - and enjoy the peace and happiness that comes from creating with children!
Joint creative activities between parents and children
To choose a lesson
It is better to start engaging in creative activities as early as possible. Ideally, this should be done when the baby begins to confidently hold small objects.
Creative interaction between mother and baby makes up for the lack of attention taken away from the child by the crazy rhythm of modern cities and the never-ending work of his mother. It relieves the pressure of parental authority and helps the child express himself and realize his importance in the family and the world.
A child who has received a lot of space to realize his imagination allows himself to think outside the box. At first, when he sees ordinary objects, he will begin to have unique, bold associations, then he will delight you with an original approach to solving various problems at school or a creative birthday surprise in the form of a beautiful wall newspaper or collage made by his hands.
Joint creativity should not be accompanied by negative emotions, so you need to prepare for them very thoroughly. At a minimum, you need to know in advance what items you will need during the work. After all, leaving a child alone with glue or scissors and going off to look for the missing tool is not the most reasonable solution.
To make your task easier, we are ready to offer you various courses and master classes in which you can take part with your children. Our family center in the center of Moscow is located in a convenient area, and all our activities are varied, exciting and lively!

How to choose supplies for crafts
You don’t have to look for them, order them, or wait for delivery - and this gives more opportunities for spontaneous creativity.
Plastic lids, scraps, old packaging? Or maybe there will be dried leaves, once collected acorns or chestnuts, intricate twigs? Great! Using unnecessary things for crafts develops imagination, teaches you to see unexpected images, combinations of colors and shapes.
And parents don’t have to put off the “home workshop” until later - when we buy the right paints, when we get to the “Children’s World”, where they sell special kits, when the order arrives by mail...
Finally, it's environmentally friendly!
