CREATIVE NEED TO SACRIFICE

CREATIVE NEED TO SACRIFICE

By : Muhammad Yakhsya

Many people think it's a creative spirit born of nature. That is, a person is to be creative or not is determined in the womb. Is that so? As people have the talent to sing and be a singer or someone who is talented and he is a painter paint?

In fact, creativity, professional, and also the talent can not be viewed in absolute terms. All the people since he was in the womb already has a range of potential. Again, the environment, people nearby, and the momentum took over the trigger for growth and flowering of diverse potential. Talking about creativity, then I conclude, it was already owned by a man from birth, whoever their parents. But make honed their creative power and needs a touch of brilliant sacrifices of his parents.

Why do I call a sacrifice? Yes, because parents have to divert one's own view on the point of view of children, empathize with their innocent thoughts, and give them a chance to touch the lives of those areas are more extensive. Not just give them a colorful wooden blocks, puzzles wide motif, fancy tricycle, or a variety of special children's toys scattered around the store; children also need permission from their parents for flour rubbed dough, peel carrots, squeezing an orange, make their own activities from the cold water was poured into a wide container shape, fitted pieces of pipe used, straw juice, and other objects in the house yada.

If we asked them if it is, the answer may surprise: "This is the water pump Mama. It's this pipe and the pump. Pipe is held by two pieces of glass so as not to fall. That was when Ade try with a glass pipe fell Mama".

Their experiments are sometimes very closely, and they found the working principles of an object through such unstructured activities. Certainly, one thing they need to do it all, the sacrifice of the parents to see their pants wet, messy floor in the front yard, and the traces of their tiny feet wet dust mixed with the inevitable need to imprint in our living room or kitchen clean .

I could feel, how hard to give up the children play in their own way with materials play the imagination of their own, which is actually very easy and inexpensive. The problem is, we are not willing to allow them to touch it because we did not bother and do not want to see the room mess. But, after all this time I watched their progress, their way of thinking, and their incredible enthusiasm when they play that way, I realized, in fact the children have learned a lot just through activities that do not terbukukan, not scheduled, and no terkurikulumkan in black and white.

Creativity grows out of many tries and a sense of security and freedom from excessive restrictions. I think that's the biggest sacrifice for any parent, to make their children are able to think and act creatively in solving problems of life.
