4.1 Introduction:
The early development of cognitive skills, emotional well-being, social competence, and sound physical and mental health builds a strong foundation for success well into the adult years. Beyond their short term importance for positive school achievement, these abilities are critical prerequisites for economic productivity and responsible citizenship throughout life. All aspects of adult human capital, from work force skills to cooperative and lawful behavior, build on capacities that are developed during childhood, beginning at birth (Centre on Developing Child, Harvard University).

Children and adolescents are important groups of users of residential spaces in the scale of house, and neighborhood spaces, local streets, children’s garden and local parks (Azemati, 2009). These places are allocated to major part of children’s daily life. Due to this reason improving the quality of these spaces to be effective on personal development, social interaction, enhance of the sense of cooperation and even their education. Lack of appropriate design criteria for the design of residential spaces, including the psychological needs of children and their psychological and spiritual realities caused their potential talents could not grow well.
Therefore, elements of residential space will impact on child’s psychology, and make him to be creative and innovative; the interior spaces in specific will stimulate a child’s imagination.

According to the analysis done, the design principles of residential spaces that can increase the curiosity, and game-playing motivation of children and in accordance with the literature, is effective in promoting the creativity and can be explained according to below principles:
• Principle 1: “connectedness and continuity of open and closed spaces (natural spaces)”.
• Principle 2: “a free plan design form and presence of small walls or movable partition walls that children create places for themselves by help of their parents”.
• Principle 3: “to create diversity by natural elements”. Natural landscape has a correlation with creativity potential. The existence of plants in the interiors helps in increasing creativity level.
• Principle 4: “play making by natural elements”.
Using the aforementioned principles in designing the residential spaces can be prepared the base of increasing the curiosity and “play-participation”, and thus improving the child’s creativity by applying the variables such as “natural stimulus elements” and “flexibility of
Spaces must tolerate movement and noise generated by the child. Children, like adults, are influenced in how they feel and behave by the total environment and the physical setting in particular. Adults notice order and cleanliness; children notice small spaces to crawl into or materials to make something out of. A large open area may be an invitation to run if it is of the right scale and proportion; but it also can create sense of fear and loneliness if the proportions are beyond in relation to children. The physical setting acts as a deciding factor- it can support and encourage a child’s curiosity or it can make the experience of exploration much harder for those who are physically incompatible to keep up with the
It is important that when practitioners create the indoor environment they take into account of the children and young people’s interest, age and their individual needs. This will help the child to feel valued when going into the setting. The practitioner can plan activities within the environment as this can help a child to learn new skills. A practitioner can do this by using the indoor or outdoor environment, this could be by allowing the child to go on bikes. This will help the child to develop their physical development without them knowing and using play.
By offering children multiple materials and equipment to play with you are allowing them to explore their senses and environment. Children can play with things such as various natural materials like sand and water which can allow them to create open ended opportunities e.g making cakes in the sand or bringing creatures to life underwater. In home corners you can offer children materials and equipment such as cardboard and fabric to create things like dens or a car. This allows children to use their imagination and carry out various types of role

Student’s name Professor’s Name Course Date Successful use of Rhetorical Strategies Introduction Ken Robinson delivers a TED talk on “schools kill creativity” filmed in February 2006. The talk aims to challenge the education system and the fact that it has little emphasis on the creativity of individuals. Robinson notes that children should not only be made to pursue their studies but also follow their passions and their interests which lie in their talents.
Therefore, a child is more likely to be curious and explore the environment should there be a haven to return to which is given by the primary caregiver and by allow the child to do this, they will develop
Child development is an area of significant interest to professionals who deal with children on a daily basis. It is through child development theorists and their theories that we begin to form an understanding of how children develop emotionally and socially to become fully grown adults in society with a moral and emotional compass/. Teachers need to study child development in order to provide developmentally appropriate educational experiences for children. Health professionals also need to understand this area to support children in their physical, social, emotional and cognitive journey to becoming functioning adults in society. Childhood is a concept that is affected by social context and also by history. Here in the West childhood was not always considered to be a fundamental developmental phase in life with children in Victorian times working from as early as the age of four.
Sir Ken Robinson advocated for a change in the education system and societal perception as a result of the decreasing creativity in children. In order to accomplish this, Robinson relied primarily on anecdotal stories with little statistical data to support his claims. Even though this is the case, Robinson’s argument is mainly effective in conveying his claim. The anecdotal stories have the most impactful relation to his claim because they offer substantial connections to the audience. The qualitative evidence also makes Robinson’s claim seem prominent in
Creativity is an important skill that everyone should use continuously. In the short story, The Cat in the Hat, it shows two kids who are home alone and don't have the creativity to think of something to do, until the Cat in the Hat shows up and presents his creative thoughts on having fun. In the article, "Why Nurturing Creativity in Kids is so Important", explains to us about how creativity is needed in everyday life and why everyone should be encouraged to use it. The text’s The Cat in the Hat and "Why Nurturing Creativity in Kids is so Important", prove that in order for a person to be creative minded, creative thinking must be encouraged.
We help to provide young students the foundation for their educational futures. In this paper, I will focus on comparing and contrasting two programs that stood out to me, the Emergent Curriculum and the Creative Curriculum. When you examine early childhood programs, you will find that there are many similarities and differences across the board, making each experience something a bit different and exciting in its own way. Curriculums Emergent Curriculum Emergent curriculum emerges out of the interests and experiences children have in their daily lives. Emergent curriculum is a great way you can plan a

As humans, all of us are entitled to human rights and children are entitled to their own rights. This comes in the form of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) as world leaders recognised that people under the age of 18 might need special care and consideration. Under the CRC, the articles listed recognised the child’s rights to various issues such as the “inherent right to life” from Article 6.1 and the “right to freedom of expression” from Article 13.1. It even recognises the “right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child” as seen from Article 31.1. This signifies the importance of play in a child’s life. There are many theories that support play as a way for the child to develop socially, cognitively and emotionally.
In this essay I will discuss the importance of following children’s interests, the stages of development and the importance of adult providing appropriate opportunities for the children to be creative. Also I discussed the benefit of music. Schemas form part of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Schemas are an organised way of making sense of experiences. While going through the different stages of development children will go through a stage of accommodation this is creating new schemas and adjusting old schemas as old schemas do not capture the environment correctly.
Through this knowledge, the teacher can presume how children of a particular age group will act, what they are capable of doing and what they are not likely able to do. Consequently, the teacher can devise activities rather confidently by taking all these aspects into consideration. At this stage, the teacher can take advantage of the windows of opportunity for the child’s growth. In other words, the teacher benefits from the sensitive period of a child’s development to provide him with enriching activities; the best period for the child to learn and develop further. In addition, what the children learn should be relevant to their environment and life experiences.
Many lessons can successfully help in covering many aspects of the benefits associated with creativity. The teacher and teenager, all equally valued the experience and outcomes. All ideas were original and had a clear
