I
I'm most passionate about using art as a therapeutic tool, and helping children to develop, through providing materials and opportunities to explore subject matter. Over the years I have found myself highly drawn to developmental psychology in particular and find that art can be a great tool to encourage healthy development of schemas, attachment etc in children of all ages. It's very important to me to encourage a generation of peaceful parents, as years go on we are gradually understanding the importance of parenting in the overall outcomes in personality and behaviour. Through parenting in a more gentle way and gaining a greater understanding in children's natural development we are now more than ever able to Foster creativity, empathy and lower the risks for negative outcomes further on in life. Not only does this benefit the parents and kids directly, it also has a huge knock on effect, by nurturing our children we lead them on a path to take greater care of our world and the creatures in it. If there is anything our world needs, its more compassionate individuals encouraging others to make more ethical choices.
