Super mom: Coloring

By Layla Burgmuller


How to be super mom - Coloring

Importance of colouring in both children and adult's lives.What are the reasons that make colouring so important? Here are just a few of the many reasons that come to my mind right off hand.

1) Self expression Coloring on a blank "canvas" (piece of paper), is a way for children and adults alike to express themselves. You can tell a lot about the way a person is feeling by the images that they draw, the colors that they use, etc.. A child who draws skulls and other disturbing objects might be crying out for help, in the only way that he/she knows how. A child who draws hearts, suns, and other cheerful objects may be expressing satisfaction, content, and love, in the only way that he/she knows how. Children use art to express themselves instead of words.

2) Recognizing colors. Color pencils, markers and crayons expose the kid to the color wheel. Learning how to tell the difference between red, pink, green, yellow, and so forth, might not seem like a big deal, but children who color with crayons or markers early on, have an easier time of understanding colors, the makeup of colors, and the mixing of colors. This can only help the child as he/she gets older, and is exposed to the full spectrum of color in the color wheel.

3) Coloring is a therapy for many people. Institutions across the globe use coloring to help people "vent" their feelings and frustrations, as well as other emotions through coloring. Scribbling over a sun's picture is a choice an angry child makes. A child wanting things done in a certain matter or caring for organization may meticulously color in between every single line. A child who wants to vent their day's frustration may just roughly scribble outside the lines. Coloring can be a way to de-stress, regardless of whether it's scribbling, or coloring the "best picture ever".

That is why coloring is the perfect activity for both you and your kid.

How To Be Super Mom most important tip is to spend a lot of time with your children. The best way to spend time with your children is to create some activities. Being too tired prevents us from playing or crafting with them. Why don't you color? Kids and parents can relax while coloring. While practicing this simple activity, your child will learn how to hold a crayon, and this will help him control his gestures. He will be able by time to use the scissors, pencils, and even manage to use tools when he grows up. Your child will recognize the colors, he will discover his favorite, how he likes to put them together and that will increase his sense of creativity. Coloring helps us express ourselves and express our feelings through colors. He will get to vent his frustration and express his happiness. Coloring has been known to be a therapeutic activity used for psychological treatments.
