"Art education can help children cope with worries. Children under stress tend to bottle up their feelings, creating emotional and physical effects. With negative news dominating our newspapers and airwaves – from a struggling economy and war to issues closer to home with worried parents, less disposable income and school stress -- children need to find healthy ways to manage stress.......
Art for kids should be all about originality and creativity. You can create a space at home that promotes imaginative play........
* Never ever judge your children’s artwork. You want to empower them to use art to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings.
Above all, children need to know that they are loved and supported.
Give hugs and model grace, calm and problem-solving. Sometimes children need just 15 minutes of your undivided attention. They need to turn off the TV and sources of distraction and learn to turn within to tap their own imaginations where a world of creative adventure awaits."
