[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is SO MUCH of this stuff in the first four years of life. Just how many hand prints with cute sayings do you want to hang in your house, nannies?

I'd be more likely to keep more of it if there were one project a month, not 10.[/quote]

Keeping one a month would be an improvement.  My youngest charge is now going to school, but even as a toddler, he would take things to his room to hide so he would have them later (until mom or dad found 1, then they would search the whole room and throw them out).  My oldest charge doesn’t care about how the finished product looks anymore, because she knows it won’t be kept anyway.

It’s not about how things look or how many kids make.  They know when their efforts are appreciated and when their efforts aren’t valued at all.[/quote]

Meh, my kids had a tendency to forget what they had done after they showed it to us that night.  I'd let it stay up for a day or two and then take it down and store it for a week or so to see if they asked about it.  They never did, not once, and then I'd secretly throw out the things that weren't worth saving and put the others into a storage box.  We do the same with birthday cards, whatever.  I HATE stuff lying around and hanging on the fridge but I'll deal with it for a short period of time if it's something that means something to them.  But 99.9% of the time, once it got hung up they never mentioned it again.[/quote]

At least you keep it for a day or 2. This family in particular throws it away, literally right away- the glue is still drying.

When they’re in school it’s a little different because 9/10 the art work is hung up for weeks at a time, so when parents are taking weeks maybe months worth of art work, I don’t expect them to hang or keep it. But to literally throw it out the same day is a slap in the face. And I’m not talking about hand prints or free painting.
