Your child's most desired response / BEST things to say about your child's artwork, Montessori tip.

Miss Julie answers your question "what things should I say about my child's artwork?" Learn what your toddler is really seeking from you when showing you their artwork. Spoiler alert: it isn't "good job" or "what is it?"! Your response can increase connection with your child while emphasizing the process of creating artwork rather than the product. Wherever your child is making art, Montessori at home, at school, he/she isn't focusing on the final results, and you needn't either!

Toddlers and preschoolers are really focused on the artistic process The joy, the love, and the passion is in the creation! Making art is one of the human tendencies outlined by Mario Montessori. Toddlers want to share things they enjoy with you. When toddlers make art they aren't really seeking subjective praise or evaluation or grade of their artwork. They are looking for connection with you. In this video I share some things to say about your child's artwork to stimulate your own creativity and imagination as you practice this skill. Remember that the purpose of our response is to give the child the ability to remember the joy they had in the process and to connect with our child around this piece of artwork.
