Book Intro

Children’s creativity is to be fostered at home!
As the master of creativity education and the first foreigner to win the Torrance Award (2018), regarded by some as “the Nobel Prize in the field of creativity”, Professor Kim Kyunghee wrote Let Children Play Outside the Box with the aim to foster children’s creativity for the future of Korea. The book introduces how parents can nurture the creativity of their children based on the CAT theory, which was developed through thorough scientific research.

One of the critical skills that our children must possess to survive in society as adults is creativity. Creativity is not an innate quality decided by IQ, DNA or family history—it is a capability that can be nurtured by parents following the birth of their child. With over 30 years of experience in creativity education, the author defines 27 attitudes necessary to nurture children’s creativity, while emphasizing that parents, and mothers in particular, are the only people who can make this work through the “4S Climate.”

Part 1 introduces the 4S Climate that encourages children’s creativity. Consisting of sunlight, wind, earth and space, the Climate shows how parents’ words and attention can help children enjoy the learning process and creates freedom that further develops children’s unique characteristics and confidence. It contains everything about parents’ mindset and attitude, and conversation/Q&A methods as well as games that stimulate creativity.

Part 2 explores the “ION thinking skill,” a necessary asset for our children to prepare for their future. The author explains that this skill—consisting of “inbox thinking,” “outbox thinking,” “inbox critical thinking,” and “newbox thinking”—is much more helpful than IQ in educating gifted children. For children and parents who wish to develop creativity and convergence thinking, the book will be an ultimate guide to get used to the four thinking methods and continue to take gradual steps in finding valuable answers.
