Chance and I did some jammin’ today… while he was SUPPOSED to be napping.
Yeah. He didn’t want to nap… so this happened instead:
How do you help release creativity in your kids?

Loved the harmonica one! It’s funny that every time he looks down at the screen he smiles.

I love the expression on YOUR face trying to keep up with what key he’s playing on the harmonica!!
As far as releasing that creativity. We only asked that she try whatever activity it was & if it wasn’t clicking, we didn’t stick around pounding it into her head. What stuck was piano. And volleyball. Now that consumed our lives for 11 months out of the year for about 7 years. Piano fell by the wayside, but she can still (at 23) sightread like nobody! She hated violin. And basketball-too much contact!

That was so cute! I allow my son to be as creative as he wants. He is always drawing, and I encourage him to do all kinds of things. I allow him to be him, and that is all I can do. I actually asked him if he wanted to do choir at church and he, surprisingly, said no. It was odd, because he was in the choir at our former church and he loved it. He is 5, and I am sure he will change his mind, but if he doesn’t, that is okay. He will show his creativity somehow.

i figure our kids will have a million interests before they settle on the things they actually want to invest their time in. cheers to the journey, friend!

Adorable!!!
The girls love to draw and do artsy crafty stuff, so we spend a lot of time doing that… whether it’s scrapbooking or making cards or decorating boxes or just plain coloring pages. They’ve gotten into finger knitting and real knitting too… I love encouraging their creativity!
