[quote=Anonymous]Oh I think that idea about not teaching skills is BS. As you learn more skills, you have more ways to express your creativity. But I wouldn’t try to teach them myself. Kids tend to push back against their parents and sometimes it turns them off from the whole activity generally. And often people who are really good at an activity but who don’t have experience in teaching don’t realize what the student doesn’t know and so they skip a lot of steps, leaving them frustrated. My daughter is a fantastic artist and she learned pretty much everything from YouTube. Hours and hours of YouTube watching. Sometimes it was stuff I didn’t see value in, like doodling “advice,” but she apparently learned a lot. She’s in 7th grade and her art teachers always marvel at her work. But maybe a teacher couldn’t hurt your kid, as long as she’s interested in it. Just don’t push your child into anything. [/quote]
