What should I do to get my toddler to colour inside the lines?

Feb 01, 2009 in Intelligent Parenting

The question that is topmost in almost all of you whose child has joined the school.

The short answer is, you don’t.

Children need to feel free to express their creativity, and for younger children this often means coloring outside the lines and scribbling. Never criticize your young Picasso when he or she doesn’t do a perfect colouring job, because in most cases they are doing the best job they can!

‘creativity has no boundaries’

Instead hang their artwork on the refrigerator or frame it to give them a sense of accomplishment. Fine motor skill development takes several years, and it is literally impossible for most children to control their crayons to the point where they color like an expert. So, be patient and your child will soon be creating masterpieces!

OUR ADVISE IS THAT NEVER EVER COMPARE YOUR CHILD TO ANOTHER AND DO NOT LET SOCIAL AND PEER PRESSURE FALL ON YOUR CHILD.fine motor development is bound to come with time but creativity once dampened or killed will not come back.
