The Bigger Picture for your Child

The Real Message
Tim* is a very active, engaged, strong-willed, bright, sensitive, soon to be 4 year old on this planet. Recently he got a set of LEGO pens to play with and created what his parents were afraid of the most: a nice drawing on the wall.
Dad wanted to scream at him, but held himself back. Mom placed a big flip chart sheet on top of it to hide it.
Was there more than just testing the boundaries?
A deeper conversation showed that Tim* needed a bigger life, a bigger expression for his personality with joy and curiosity. "Why dont' you encourage him to draw on big sheets of paper and sign it each time, with the confidence of a real artist? This way he learns to be proud of his creation and own it."
The new discovery turned into a family game with joy and laughter.
