Art and Children
Are all children artists? Well, that is an interesting question. All children, minimally, are creative. Some excel in the art of drawing, dance, theater, singing and so forth. While others are creative in science or math. Still others may be natural born mechanics. Whatever your child’s interest, it should be nurtured like a the delicate sapling that it is.
Parents who criticize their children endlessly need to take a good hard look at the future mess they are creating. Allowing a young person to follow his or her dream may be difficult, especially if it goes directly against some purpose of their own. My advice? Be a Man (or a Woman) and let your child pursue his or her own dream, unfiltered through your parental sieve.
