I'm wondering how your daughter handles the comparison of her work with yours. I find that if I try to paint 'things' rather than just colors on the page, my daughter gets turned off from creating beside me because she feels as though her work is inferior. I don't use language like that at home, and always try to commend her use of color or the way she made marks on part of the page, or the way she is really concentrating... but I think her school and peers have taught her that "scribble scrabble" is wrong. So frustrating. I want us to be able to draw and create side by side without either of having to change.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109020575443306758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-77244308405892823482016-01-15T04:36:01.905-08:002016-01-15T04:36:01.905-08:00Love the pictures of Lucy drawing and her own draw...Love the pictures of Lucy drawing and her own drawings, so thankful that you share her and her process a bit with your readers. I have a question though. How do you answer her when she asks you to "show her how to draw a person/flower" or something else? Kids often ask for guidance, but how do you respond to give her confidence that she can find the answer herself? *curious*iHannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994613846114310258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-70543823728922655842016-01-14T03:07:41.825-08:002016-01-14T03:07:41.825-08:00Love this.

Just pure encouragement and watching you.

I had planned to do exactly this with my four year old from day dot but somehow we've got too busy (or I've got too busy), we haven't got the space, etc, etc ... I could make all kinds of excuses ... But at the end of the day somehow it hasn't happened. I'm beginning to get more attention grabbing from her by just trying different approaches and the best approach at the moment is just doing my painting and then she'll come over out of curiosity and start into it as well. I WANT MY STUDIO BACK, so I can leave everything out for her to dabble. I've moved everything into our little two bedroom unit so every time we do something, it has to be put away but at least I've made it accessible in the main house rather than packed away in the studio. She is still more interested in art more than anything else so I just have to keep working with that. <br /><br />PS. I would still love to see what your typical schedule is for a week. I have to find some way of fitting everything within each day ... <br /><br />Thank you for being my inspiration.
