Many children love to draw. And most of them want to share the results of their creativity with their parents.
Of course, not all kids have a talent for drawing. Therefore, children's works can rarely be called amazing.
Many parents know that a small child should not be criticized for a bad drawing. Moms and dads understand that the child may be offended.
But, unfortunately, not all parents are aware of another important point. So, you can’t ask your child one supposedly “harmless” question.
What question are we talking about?
Parents often ask a young artist: “What is drawn here?”
This question is dangerous for two reasons. First, the child may decide that he made a scribble, and not a good drawing.
The child will be upset and will stop realizing his creative potential. And this is very bad: it is possible that the child would have reached a new level if he had not given up his hobby.
Secondly, mom and dad, asking a dangerous question, show the child that each drawing should have a theme. But there are also abstract paintings.
What to tell a child
Do you want to figure out what exactly your kid drew?
Then say the following phrase: “Please tell me about your drawing.”
In this case, you will receive all the necessary information without upsetting your child, and at the same time you will demonstrate to your child your interest in his creativity.
