Dreaming is one of the essential traits of character that we can and should nurture in our children. Such nurturing has gotta start early on in a child’s life. Otherwise, the inner talents, and eventually personal happiness of that growing dreamer, could be thwarted, subdued and never realized to the fullest.

What do we need to do when our children sing, dance, go around demoing kicks and moves and all nine yards of behaviors that may seem like “mis” behaviors? We gotta support them! The bursts of Creativity come in all kinds of shapes and expression.

This is year is the year of Dreamers. Disney is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary with a many Shows, Parades, Fireworks in its parks. In addition, there’s a unique and very worthy seeing movie that came out this summer – TOMORROWLAND.

Starring some of the amazing young talents – Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Thomas Robinson, – with George Clooney in the middle of all the happenings, this movie has gathered and extrapolated some of the deeply thought and beautifully expressed forms of thinking on Creativity and Dreaming. And what dreamers like the ones we see in Tomorrowland can do individually and when we have many, many, very many of such dreamers in this life living among us.

The movies is out. Grab your own copy on Blu Ray DVD to watch it anywhere you are! With your copy, you will be able to to upload your digital edition of Tomorrowland to Disney Movies Anywhere and watch your favorite Disney classics for years to come.

Disney has also came up with the Dreamers Quiz which was put by the professional psychologists to let you know what type of a dreamer your child is. I took my quiz. And here’s my child’s profile for a Dremer he is.

Your child’s dreamer traits are creativity, uniqueness and expressiveness. Artists have active imaginations that they express in unique ways. They may be more emotional, but use those emotions as energy in their creations. Your child wants to bring beauty and uniqueness into this world.

A child may express this creativity and uniqueness through any career that allows him/her to create — for example, a musician, dancer, painter, chef, journalist or author. You can inspire your young artist by taking him/her on a nature walk and encouraging the use of senses to fully experience the world.

Start by focusing on what you can hear; listen to the birds singing and the wind through the leaves. Then, focus on what you can see — for example, the colors of leaves, patterns in water or grass and variations in light. Finally, ask your child to notice how things feel, such as the texture of tree bark or the softness of a fern.

Research has shown that spending time outside increases creativity.

If you would like to take a quiz to help you to understand your child more and nurture his/her creativity, here’s a Quiz for you!

Inspire your child to dream. Encourage her/him to be brave to do something different and listen to their intuition. Disney teaches us to follow our instincts and express ourselves. That is how all of the Disney ideas came to fruition: A few dreamers like Walt Disney, Eric Goldberg, Brad Bird and hundreds of them took a risk of doing something they believed in. YOU CAN, TOO!
