Stopping the Media Plague That Is Cursing the Innovative Minds of Our Children


I just got done playing with my child.  He handed me a spatula, and took his sword and we pretended to be having a light saber duel.  That idea of using a spatula creatively like a light saber is something too many children aren’t doing these days.  It is no wonder that the experts are saying that the younger generation is not as creative as they have been in previous generations.  Though perhaps by accident, not having the money to buy the second light saber becomes a blessing for the creativity of a child’s mind.  That is, the child only having one light saber needs to use a substitute to have fun, and through that method of substituting similar things, such as even a spatula, can have a profound effect on the minds of our youth.

So, if you are poor, don’t fret.  Don’t ask the government for $9 an hour.  Rather, teach your child how to be creative through allowing them to play, and be of assistance to helping them delve into their creative minds, such as through the Spatula Light Saber Substitution Theory (SLST).  And, at the same time, find creative ways to make your dollar stretch further, so that you don’t need to beg the government for a higher minimum wage.

Another solution to this problem of lack of creativity is to introduce your child to the Bible stories at a young age.  These stories are so fantastic that they seem like fables.  However, they will cause your child to engage his or her imagination.  Children are naturally inclined to these stories because children like fantasy.

Fantasy is a part of what makes the universe so awesome.  Without imagination, there would be no Tesla, no Plato, and no Einstein.  The world needs creative folk, one's that shake the foundations of the earth and the heavens for being allowed to play at a young age.
