?Kids who are taught art perform stronger academically, are able to retain information longer, have more confidence and better developed independent thinking skills, says Jensen.
What you can doYou can make it easy for your child to get in touch with her inner da Vinci. Create an art kit by filling a plastic bin with supplies like scratch paper, paints, markers, colored pencils, glue, scissors, sticks, and cotton. Hang up his creations to show you appreciate his hard work and creativity.
Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing your own handiwork. If your child’s a perfectionist and gets hung up on what he perceives as mistakes, guide him back to the fun of process. Together, you and your child can sew and embroider, make beaded jewelry, build Lego sets, and sculptures with wood scraps.
