Let your child do ALL of the project. If you don’t like the look of it, too bad, keep your hands off THEIR work and your opinions about the end product to yourself. Talk about their process. “I see you are pressing hard here and lightly here with that stamp. How do those marks look different?” Open-ended questions support language and critical thinking development. If you help or “fix” your child’s art, you are telling them what they did was not good enough. Also, when you do art alongside your child, be very careful that you are not setting a standard for them and that they feel they must follow you. Often doing art with children says, this is the gold standard and if yours doesn’t look like mine, it’s not good. The same goes for showing samples of “the correct” finished product. I read some of the comments and had to comment myself. Our students are falling behind academically in our country and stifling their creativity isn’t doing them any good.
