Contrary to the fears of parents, today’s children have great creative potential.
Adults are worried: today’s children have a poor imagination, because they hardly read books, sit on social networks and watch television series with stupid plots … “It’s not like that!” – encouraging psychologists Sandra Russ and Jessica Dillon (Sandra Russ, Jessica Dillon) from Case Western Reserve University (USA). They compared the results of studies conducted from 1985 to 2008: children aged 6-10 were given toys, asked to write a story about them, and recorded their stories on video. The conclusion of psychologists: today children feel more relaxed and fantasize more than 20 years ago. More details appear in their stories, and game images are more diverse and brighter. In addition, children now show less hidden aggression, fights and arguments are less common in their stories. “Although today children have less time for games in the real world, they have everything in order with their imagination,” the researchers note. “He is stimulated by video games, the Internet, and the diversity of the modern world in general.”
