on 11/5/2009 Notice how your child is well behaved and allowing you to record a video. That is a great example of the power of art. Kids are less troubled and more creative. I wrote "How to Inspire your child's inner Picasso". Let me know what you think. http://www.ehow.com/how_5604891_inspire-childs-inner-picasso.html

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Sally Head and today I am going to talk to you about how to nurture your preschoolers imagination. Relish their artwork. It doesn't cost much to encourage a child's imagination with their artistic abilities. Things such as white copy paper or construction paper, markers or crayons, anything that kids can express themselves with through the art medium and remember coloring books are a wonderful way for children to practice coloring, having them draw a specific animal or just creating whatever they want really helps open up what is inside. Hannah, would you like to draw a picture for me. Want to use markers or crayons? Markers; okay, you start drawing. Try to remember to set up an area in your house. If you don't have a large house, any little area that can be their arts and craft center is a wonderful way for them to know that this is where they can find all of their supplies necessary and also helps mom's to know where they can stash supplies if unexpected guest come over.
