AnswerGirls Online Column Includes Exercise For Teaching Creative Thinking

This week's AnswerGirls column is all about thinking outside the box. Available online at http://www.answergirls.com/solutions004100610.html, it includes a fun family exercise that will sharpen everyone's creative thinking skills.

This week the AnswerGirls new Solutions column focuses on the importance of teaching children how to think outside the box.

The ability to think outside the box comes from developing a child's creative thinking skills. This improves his or her problem solving skills. All of our top leaders excel at creative thinking, which is a skill that can be learned, no matter what your age.

Don't give this skill short credit, thinking of it as only being useful to people who want to draw a picture, write a story or compose a hit song. Creativity is a much broader skill. And, when you develop those creative thinking skills you develop better creative thought processing skills, which leads to thinking outside the box when encountering a problem.

Solutions, the AnswerGirls weekly online column, is all about creative thinking and simple solutions. Published every Wednesday, each column tackles a fresh problem, providing readers with a simple solution. This week Solutions includes an easy creative thinking exercise that the whole family will enjoy. You'll find it at http://www.answergirls.com/solutions004100610.html.

The AnswerGirls also offer a $1.00 e-booklet, "Encourage Creativity in Children". It explains how to teach this critical skill, and includes 8 simple activities that make it fun for children and adults to sharpen their creative thinking skills. Available exclusively from www.AnswerGirls.com.
