As is, you need a comma after "therefore" since it is an introductory phrase. But ask yourself which statement you're making is the cause and which is the effect. It seems that what you're saying is that children often find unusual solutions to things because they use their imagination more—which means "therefore" should introduce the second clause, not the first. Additionally, you have a comma splice. A correct sentence would be: "Children use their imagination more; therefore, they often find unusual solutions to things."

Reiterate your thesis! You don't have to repeat it word for word, but you can definitely use the thesis as the topic sentence of your conclusion.

"I ran" is a good example of an active sentence, since the action occurs immediately. "I was running" qualifies as a passive sentence since the action has already occurred.

Should e.g. or i.e. ever be capitalized? Like when they occur separately from the sentence (I.e or E.g)?

If you feel you have to start a sentence with "e.g." or "i.e.", it would be less confusing to use the equivalent English phrases "for example" or "in other words."
