Parenting Tips: Episode 18 (Nurturing Imagination)

Nurturing imagination through play can help young children develop the skills to think or solve problems creatively.

Examples of fun activities are

  • Dressing Up

  • Role Playing

  • Storytelling

  • Free-Flow Arts

Let’s give children the freedom to think and learn through imaginative play. It’s also important to ask them to tell their imaginative stories, new playing rules or things they invent. They will feel valued and encouraged to keep using their imaginative mind, which will be a good foundation to develop other essential life skills like critical thinking and creative problem-solving.

How would the children who do not speak English adjust when they come to Noddy?

The children do pick up the English language naturally through everyday activities. All of daily communication between teachers and children is in English. The children learn to follow simple introductions then instinctively learn to speak and use English language in their play. From our experience, the younger the children are exposed to the English language is better. They tend to absorb the language and start using it in everyday situations much more quickly and efficiently.
