Children - Abrakadoodle

2. The value of art
Art is not about training a child to become the next Picasso
or van Gogh, but about giving children the space to explore
who they are, and build up life-long transferable skills.
Involving a child in art activities expands the creative mind,
improves body and spatial awareness, fosters health and
promotes wellbeing.

3. The million-dollar question
Most parents often ask a question that seems to bother them
a lot, “How will art benefit my child?” The straight answer,Art
teaches skills for life. Art allows young children to be more
active in improving their gross and fine motor skills and
develop creativity. Developing a child’s creativity through
improvisation helps them to think and act in the moment and
solve problems. Boosting their confidence and self-esteem.

4. Shaping emotional development
Painting allows children to explore emotions freely and find
safe ways of expressing them. Learning to express yourself
and having such efforts valued and understood can do
wonders for your child’s self-esteem. Additionally, painting is
a great way to let go of negative emotions or neutralize
stress, anger or hate or fear. Or all these emotions.

5. Managing the mind growth
Think of all the elements that come together to make a
painting: the colours, shapes, placement, observation, and
interpretation. These are just some of the many things a
child learns from painting. Painting involves both sides of the
brain, developing creativity and logical thinking. Imagine how
doing a simple task of mixing colours can teach a child to be
creative and logical.

6. Learning to work with others
Although painting is an independent activity that allows a
child to explore and discover new things on her own. But
when done alongside a child of her own age, it becomes an
act of sharing. This act of sharing is always a valuable
interaction as it imparts to children the lesson of respecting
differences.

7. Gaining control over physical
movement
When children are allowed to play with colours and paint
with a brush from an early age, it leads to improvement in
innovative thinking, greater emotional stability, effortless
eye-hand coordination, and strengthening of both gross and
fine motor skills. As the child grows, painting allows for these
traits to be honed to perfection.

8. Conclusion:
Here are proven social and emotional development
strategies that help to make art exciting, engaging and
improve your child’s social skills.
