A little over a year ago, Ruth Oosterman wrote on Bored Panda about how she collaborates with with Eve, her two-year-old daughter, to create beautiful works of art. Now, the Toronto-based Canadian artist is back with new paintings. How does this creative duo go about creating their work? Eve, who’s now 3, uses a felt-tip pen to doodle on a piece of paper; then Ruth adds paint to finish the piece.
“I try to work quickly and let imagination and play take root into the painting rather than taking it to seriously, this way I can encourage Eve’s contribution without making it too ‘grownup,'” Oosterman wrote on Bored Panda. “As Pablo Picasso said, it can take ‘but a lifetime to paint like a child.’ I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is to paint like a child by letting me see through her eyes.”

So basically...you're teaching your child that their work, conceived and created entirely by themself, isn't good enough...way to go. Sometimes good intentions aren't enough...we are the adults, we are the ones that should know better...and if you don't know, you educate yourself before you try to act like you know. This is one of the worst things, hands down, a person can do to a child...they are 2,3,4,5...they have NO idea that you are building on their masterpiece. What they think is that their work wasn't good enough and now mommy (or daddy, utter teacher, or whomever the heck it is) is making it "better"...therefore teaching the child to, yet again, look outside of themself for validation and worth. NO child should be taught to look to others too make themselves feel good about themself...it is your duty as a parent, teacher, ADULT, to learn how to foster the child's INTRINSIC motivation and worth! The pictures are great, with their "collaboration"...which was in no way an
