my mother loved to keep all the craft work that i had done. She still has a few of them till now!! We has a showcase at our house that was made especially for me to display my craft works. I think when a child is appretiated for the work that he/she has done, it gives them a lot of confidence in themselves. i was not all that good in studies but in crafts nobody could beat me, i always got an a+ in crafts. But while we are in school our priority should be studies as there is not much scope here in crafts.
Anyways do you like to display you child's hard work put into the craft works???

All the engouragement must be boosting him so much which inturn will give him a lot of self confidence in the future. I too am waiting from my son to go to pre school and so some master piece for me too!!

I always did! Their pictures went on the fridge then were saved. Their crafts that they made were hung on walls or displayed on shelves. My sons are grown now but hanging in my kitchen are plastic plates they made for me in kindergarten and first grade for mother's day and they'll always be hanging there! The house is full of their creations that I actually do use for everyday purposes. It's comforting, a little, to have their things since they're not here.

Start showing her your love before it's too late. Send little cards or call her more often. When she's gone, you don't want to be feeling bad about not telling her how you feel!
Some people want to do everything before they die and leave nothing undone. My goal is to be able to die with no regrets of how I treated people, leaving nothing unsaid that needs to be said and not wishing I'd paid more attention to someone I loved.
Also, the way you treat your parents is the way your child is going to treat you when he grows up! So start writing, start calling, visit when you can and make your son a part of it. My own sons are usually very attentive and call me every few days, they never say goodbye without telling me they love me and I think it's because of the example I tried to set with their grandparents.

All these things must be reminding you of their childhood days and how much they liked to show their love to you. I think when children grow up they stop displaying their love to their parents like they did when they were kids. I dont show my mother the love that i have for here, i dont know why i do that but i would love to tell her that i love her everyday of my life!

My mother has preserved most of the works of art that i had made! She even has the hand impression that i had done when i was in kindergarten.

Oh yes! Our fridge and washer and dryer all display their work. Many of their other creations can be found on our entertainmnet center and hanging in both their bedroom and ours! We encourage both of our sons to explore their artistic side.
Since crafting is a part of my life, I feel it's important to acknowledge their abilities as well

yes it is very important to acknowledge their skills, it make them feel important. Since you are also inclined towards towards crafts you would understand how important one feels when someone likes a peice of work that you have done. As for me i used to feel like the top of the world when mom displayed my works and people appretiated it!

When I had a large house it had a long hall way and I woudl frame the 8x10 pictures and things that my grand daughter would do for me and hang them on this hall way wall! IT was so nice! I had lots of comments on these things more than the pictures I had! I lined the hallway on both walls with family pictures and these were on the end of the hallway. I read them every day and it was like she was there with me! Now in a small apt, I had to take them out of the frames and put htem in page protectors and in a 3 ring binder. Sure miss seeing them every day!

I do understand that you miss the comments from your grand daughter but all of them are stored somewhere safe - in your heart and your head! it sure must be feeling so lovely to remember the love that they all have for you.

I am sure you would and believe me it would make them feel great that you are displaying their works of art. My mom still has the hand paint that i did when i was in kinder garten! i dont know what it is exactly called but we put our hands into paint and leave an impression on the paper. I still see the vegetable paints that i had donr when small. And i really like it, coz it makes me feel that my mother cares for me!
