Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:           To help your child appreciate art.

PRACTICE:       Today, plan an art appreciation activity with your child.

Go to a museum, dance performance, concert, or get some children’s library books about some form of art.

Ask the librarian to help you locate books that are pictures of finished art or of performances and that are right for the age of your child.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, MORRIS THE ARTIST.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
