Some concerned parents would ask what type of art I should encourage my child to partake in. How will it help my child develop useful skills? There are pros and cons for each type of art. Drawing is relatively easy to start and develop skills, whereas music and dancing allow for self-expression. There isn’t a one-type-fits-all suited for every child. Every child is a different individual with particular interests and talents. Children need to be given time to explore different types of art. The one that gives them a sense of accomplishment is the one they will likely gain the most from and continue with.
Developing your own opinion is challenging when you have too many voices. The best way to support your child is to have a positive attitude, be a part of their world, and not interfere. Be sure to refrain from influencing your child from past experiences, and allow them to build and express their inner self.
As we age, we begin dealing with real-world challenges, which can generate stress. Whether from work, social interactions or other challenges, an outlet is needed to relieve these stresses. This is why having a hobby is important; hobbies can break your mind from anxiety. Having art as a hobby allows you to shift away from feeling anxious and stressed. Instead, you will feel focused, relaxed, and confident by channelling your attention creatively.
When is the right age to start?
Experiential learning is one of the best ways to help younger children engage their interests and learning. Traditional education approaches can rob children’s passion for their interests. Being aware of your child’s interests is important as they mature. Empowering your child to try out different skills at a young age allows them to discover what they enjoy and gives the parent the to provide them with the appropriate amount of support as needed.

What is the Teacher-Centered approach? In this approach, teachers are the main authority figure; students are viewed as “empty vessels” where the role is to receive information passively. This approach measures student learning through test scores and assessments. On the other hand, the Student-Centered approach works differently. Teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process. The teacher’s primary role is to coach and facilitate student learning and overall comprehension of the material and ensure teaching and assessment are connected; student learning is continuous and never-ending.
