So much happens when you draw with kids. The drawing is just a way of opening up a creative space in which you can hang out, think, create, and learn. It's a unique way of thinking, and an opportunity to communicate on a level rarely seen in these days of standardized tests. So draw with your kids. You will learn a great deal about them, and they will learn about you.
