[Jagriti55] Preparation for Session #7 - Creativity

Hi 
Now that we are thinking in terms of - WHAT DO I WANT - in any and every situation
the next logical step would be to think, 
given I know what I want 
Which capability of child's do we tap into, what abilities do I use, which strengths do I explore?
We explore these questions in the next two sessions - the first being on

Session #7 - Creativity

1.

Create artwork or model which symbolizes PEACE. Bring to the session or better post a picture of it in whatsapp group.


2.

Your child has a new flashy eraser in his box. He claims his friend has given him. But you have been off-late seeing too many of these "gifts" in his bag/box lately. Also, he has been pestering for all kinds of flashy stationery. He had also flicked something a few days back from the neighbour's house. Looks like he isn't telling you the 'right' story.

What would be your response in this situation? Why are you responding in this way? What is your objective? What are your beliefs about lying, stealing, material possessions, etc?


3.

What is creativity? Make a small map of what all words / thoughts come to your mind regarding creativity? What are your beliefs about creativity? So how creative do you think you are? Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 (where ratings of 4-5-6 are not allowed)


4.

In a way "humour" is about looking at oneself creatively, an outlook that fools around with oneself. To doubt, joke, poke, and laugh at one's thoughts, feelings, situations, characteristics, BELIEFS, and behaviour; to not take oneself seriously.

Imagine you're a stand-up comedian. Make a small video - about 3-5 min. In that video make fun of yourself, your habits, your thoughts, laugh at yourself, giggle silly, etc. You cannot make fun of anybody or anything else - other than YOU. Post this too on whatsapp group.

5

When one works from the premise of creativity one becomes very accepting and that helps. We realise that creativity is not just a visually appealing painting, a pep piece of music, but something that is more fundamental, more pervasive, daily, …..  A thinking process, a way of life.

Think about at least three aspects of your life that you would like to live creatively. Why are these not as creative as of now? How can you make them creative?


warmly

[Jagriti55] Webinar on FEAR - today 9pm

Image
Parents, Children and FEAR Have you heard / said this: "There is nothing to be afraid of!"  Well how about instead of saying NO to fear, we get down to KNOWING fears In this webinar We would approach fears first from an  acceptance  perspective. "Its alright to have any fear". Remember fear lurks in the dark corners of our mind - where logic seldom works. Our assertion is that once the child is assured of this - the child would be more open to dealing with it. Then we spend time understanding fears, turning them around through multiple looking glasses. Then we hand it over to the kid and say - "Its all yours. Enjoy it, love it, embrace it, hug it, kiss it!
