Children Are Born Creative Geniuses!

Listen On ...

Dr. Land’s NASA study found
 that 98% of children start as creative geniuses,
but only 2% keep that spark into adulthood!


“Children are creative geniuses!” confirms the study where Dr. Land and Dr. Jarman tested a diverse group of 1,600 American children, starting when they were 4-5 years old. The study lasted for ten years, and these are the Imaginative Thinking NASA Test Results:

* 4-5 years: 98% of preschoolers scored at genius level
* 10 years: 30% scored creative geniuses
* 15 years: only 12 % scored creative geniuses
* adults: less than < 2 % scored creative geniuses

This study has shown that we are all born divergent creative thinkers. But something smothers our ingenuity and creativity as time ticks by.

Creativity is not lost, we are being 'educated out of it!'

Dr. George Land’s NASA-backed study tested the creativity of 1,600 children, starting at age 4-5. Shockingly, 98% scored at genius levels in creative thinking. However, as they grew older, their creativity declined dramatically—dropping to 30% by grade school, 12% by high school, and just 2% in adulthood. The study suggests that traditional education and societal norms stifle natural creativity over time, rather than nurturing it.

Children are born creative geniuses, but something smothers their inner flame of innovative and inquisitive minds!

Teaching our children to do both kinds of thinking (divergent and convergent) at the same time creates a dichotomy, causing neurons to fight with each other, thus diminishing the power of the brain.

How to Nurture Divergent Thinking:

Encourage Work Based on Real Experiences
Encourage work based on real experiences and observations. Once they observe (look and learn), they will remember the experiences the most! Offer them to roll their sleeves and do the doing, embracing hands-on learning. 

Encourage Imagination, not Imitation.
Imagination is the unique ability that makes us human, apart from animals who can merely imitate. Offer children plenty of opportunities to imagine things and practice being creative.

Offer a child to Pay Careful Attention to their Senses
Ask them awareness questions about what we are touching, seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting. The more senses the children utilize, the richer the experience. 

Motivate a Child with Open Questions
An open question has more than one answer, and such thinking generates new possibilities. Allow children to express themselves.

Encourage Hands-on Experimentation as Learning
Encourage hands-on experimentation as learning, and don’t do it for them! Instead of showing how something is done, ask them to try other ways to see if it will work. Children gain confidence when they learn from hands-on experience. We do not want to smother their innate desire to figure things out.

Be an Observer, not a Critic
Listen to your child, do not judge, criticize, or point to mistakes. The Montessori method has a built-in control of error that allows a child to self-correct if needed without an adult’s intervention or deprecation.

Offer Freedom of Movement and Freedom of Choice
Provide freedom of movement and freedom of choice encourages children to be decision-makers. Offer them an option in the material and the workspace: do they want to do it on the floor mat or the table?m Do they want to stay inside or bring the lesson outdoors?

Present Plenty of Opportunities for Practice! 
With practice, they improve their techniques, making the hard stuff easy to prevent discouragement or loss of interest. Make sure that the learning is challenging (not boring) and straightforward enough to avoid total frustration.

Encourage Creative Problem-Solving Skills
Encourage children to come up with many different solutions to a problem. This thinking opens the mind in various directions and tests the brain’s ability to shift perspective on existing information.

Other Culprits of a Decline in Divergent Thinking Capabilities
What other possible reasons do you think are responsible for the huge drop in divergent thinking ability as we grow older? When people’s underlying capabilities are not being challenged, when we are locked into jobs, titles, or situations that are boring, and the lack of opportunities for creative expression may be largely responsible for the plummet in divergent thinking as we mature.

However, does this excuse us when we teach in ways that are entangled with extrinsic motivation, rewarding copying, and mimicking rather than showing little ones the strategies that highly creative people use when they think?
