My 10 year old daughter wants to be an inventor, but she doesn’t know what to invent and she is not interested in any of the suggestions you have made. She wants to get wood and metal and nails and screws and wires and use the saw and hammers and screwdrivers to “invent something”. Because she can’t do this, she says she feels unsupported and discouraged. I have tried to encourage her to start with build gadgets form kits so that she can learn how things go together and why they work the way they do. She thinks that she had done enough of that. I know her and I know that if she does not take the time to learn about what she is attempting to do and it fails, she will be devastated. Any advice?
My son loves to watch the show “Heads up” it is a scientific show for kids that to me at first seemed rather dry but my son loves it! You can buy copies of it here and maybe it will spring some creativity for her own creations as it teaches how things work. Let me know! Try this kit?
Try finding Heads up on YouTube if you can’t find it on TV. For us it is channel 7 or 11.
You present a different approach from the usual tips for developing creativity in children. This is actually similar to the approach that is used in creative brainstorm sessions in advertising and other fields, where you’re presented the problem and challenged to find solutions. Thanks for sharing this perspective.
