Content: As they enter their teenage years imagination will allow better social interaction and social awareness as it encourages a better sensitivity to the needs and feelings of those around us. Imagination can also decrease stress levels as it encourages problem solving and the possibility of positive outcomes and solutions. A powerful imagination is a wonderful skill to have and a very important one to nurture throughout all stages of life. To really reach our full potential I believe imagination and play should be as important in our daily lives as love, nutrition and health. How can we encourage imagination within our children? We all have imagination within us, that is what makes us human. We do not need to instil it within our children but perhaps we can encourage and assist what is already there. Starting from a young age we can encourage pretend play, imaginative fantasies and the belief in some things unknown. An imaginary friend can be encouraged rather than feared. Dress up clothes are a great facility for a child’s imagination.
