How to raise a creative person

Author's name: Kholoud Al-Khalifa

Today, we live in an era where education and knowledge are undoubtedly among the most important foundations of life that every child must acquire to keep pace with the demands of the times. In her book, "How to Raise a Creative Person?", Professor Kholoud Al Khalifa focuses on modern educational methods that contribute to developing a child's intelligence and personality. To this end, the author lays out the scientific foundations of the learning process, addressing them to parents and educators involved in the educational process, including stimulating methods, training, and skills that help attract children to learning. The author says, "This book is for every mother, father, or educator who intends to educate their child effectively and develop their abilities. I say to them: If you have a goal of educating your child effectively, then rest assured that your child has the foundation stone for receiving this education." The book explains the theoretical concepts related to the learning process with training examples in which the child interacts with the surrounding environment with the aim of making the learning process successful. Through it, we learn the difference between “superficial learning” and “deep learning”, “individual differences”, and what is “the stimulating environment for deep learning”. We also learn about learning styles “visual, auditory, kinaesthetic”, the role of play in developing the child’s intelligence, and some activities to develop his intelligence. We learn about the mechanism of the child’s brain, the types of multiple intelligences, and behavioral problems. We read about ideas for developing the skill of self-control, and the child taking responsibility for his decisions, as well as teaching him the art of apology, and other ideas about activities in free time and others.
