Kids do the darndest things



Aspiring Picasso OR Aspiring Pain



Kiddies’ art is always most fascinating when the canvas is the face of someone else. This is the case with my nephew and niece. Both of them have a penchant for drawing on the other’s face. My niece has especially taken to face art gracing her own with colourful palette, as well as her cousin’s with grandma’s lipstick. I can’t see why it’s important for them to do such things.



Development OR plain disobedient?



I’ve been told that it’s all part of their personal development, and expression of self. Whether it’s ‘write’ or wrong, is the prerogative of the parent (and parenting style). I would just hope that the parent is able to discern between ‘development’ and crossing a line where such behavior is harmful to the child or others.

Are parents still adopting a strict disciplinarian approach with their kids, OR has it been left up to the world through the expression of self to teach a child proper moral and values?
