how to support creative thinking

We often remark on the marvelous creativity of young children's drawings, dramatic play, and invented language. Children show imaginative use of color, themes, and flights of fancy in their language. As teachers, we play an important role in supporting children's ability in art, dramatic expression, and creative responses to problems.
Ask five different teachers to define "creativity" and you'll probably get five different answers. One definition of creativity focuses on the process of "divergent thinking," which involves:
- the breaking up of old ideas
- making new connections
- enlarging the limits of knowledge
- the onset of wonderful ideas

Sometimes I feel bored I will try something new.

In my ways,I will find books to read because other's ways will give some inspiration to me.People have different stand point so they also find problems or good ways differently.Mix and match ways by your own thinking and try to find different ways.
Communicate to others or talk to people is best way too.
I always share my experiences to others and listen others talk about their experiences.
Finally,I get many inspiration that will support my creative thinking well.

One thing that researchers have noticed with especially creative people is that they tend to re-conceptualize the problem more often than their less creative counterparts. That means, instead of thinking of a cut-and-dry end goal to certain situations, they sit back and examine the problem in different ways before beginning to work.
