Imagination is the ability to think of something that is not real . We all dream and we can feel better by dreaming . Many of the famous inventions or entertainment products are inspired by one ’ s imagination . One sees images created by imagination with the “ eye of the mind ”. So , how can we develop imagination ? You can develop it by generating new ideas , believing that you can do it , perceiving problems as opportunities , feeling comfortable , curious , staying young , and inspiring yourself .
Dreaming positively affects mental development of a child . Talk to him about things he doesn ’ t know , listen to what he wants to say . Have your child draw lots of pictures and ask them to explain what they have drawn . Let ’ s not forget that for a child , dreaming is everything . Praise him for the positive things he does , do not break his dreams with negative sentences . German theoretical physicist and scientist Albert Einstein said ; “ Imagination is more important than knowledge , because when knowledge is limited , imagination surrounds the whole world .”
