The 6yr old is an excellent self-critic. He has taken to drawing and painting as a daily activity. Today, we were both busy with work and suggested he spend time drawing. Very excitedly and with such joy, he pulled up a paper and drew the pic on top. He looked at it from several directions, then came to me and commented, "Amma, I don't like this one, can I take another paper and draw another". I readily agreed to this, and he then began drawing, using watercolor to paint (had a conversation on brushes midway). And made the picture at the bottom. I loved the beak, and his patient painting of the trees and cherries.
A little while after completion, he couldn't bear to see a drawing go waste, picked up his bright paint sticks and colored the first one. I love the hue and tone.
Initiative, introspection and self criticism is the best way to grow!
