In many households, parents dream of their children pursuing careers as doctors, engineers, or other professions which they believe are traditionally respected. These careers are deemed as secure. If you’re a doctor or an engineer, or even a scientist, you’re successful! However, when a child shows a passion for art—whether it be painting, drawing, or music—parents sometimes become skeptical and worried about their child’s future. They fear that a career in the arts is not financially stable or socially esteemed. We think it is high time we acknowledge the importance of art and appreciate a child’s creative spirit.
Art has many forms. It allows people to communicate emotions and ideas in ways that words cannot. When a child gravitate toward coloring, sketching, or any other form of artistic expression, they are engaging in a hobby while also developing critical thinking skills.
What you, as a parent, need to understand is that not every child is destined to become a doctor or an engineer, and that’s perfectly okay. Each child has a talent and passion that deserve to be appreciated.
A child who loves coloring today may become a renowned painter, a skilled animator, a talented musician, or even an innovative designer tomorrow. The industry is vast for all artists out there and offers numerous opportunities for those who are passionate about it. It is a field where individuals can make a mark by bringing their own ideas to the world.
If you’re a parent, make sure that you do not diminish your child’s love for art as they grow older. Instead, encourage their artistic endeavors by providing them with the tools and resources they need to develop their skills. In doing so, you will validate their passion but also encourage them to pursue their dreams with confidence.
