Summer is the perfect time for your kids to explore the hidden treasures that libraries offer beyond their extensive book collections. From engaging programs to hands-on activities, here’s why you should make the library a regular destination this season.
When our children engage in activities like art, music, dance, or visual arts, it’s not solely about training them to become professional artists in the future. Instead, it’s about enriching their educational journey in profound ways. Sometimes, the impact of arts education on a person’s life trajectory is direct and significant. Take, for instance, the story of Cindy, as shared in an excerpt from my book, “Being Visual.”
I wanted to share with you an inspiring perspective I recently encountered in the pages of “Scattered Minds” by Dr. Gabor Maté. Dr. Maté paints a picture of ADHD as not just a disorder, but a different way of experiencing the world—one that is characterized by heightened creativity, intuition, and sensitivity to the environment, all traits of right-brain thinkers.

I’m excited to share something really cool that changed how I see ADHD and how our brains work, especially the creative side! Let’s chat about “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk.

This activity not only encourages drawing and coloring but also allows children to express their creativity and emotions through personalized messages.
Every stroke of a pencil, every word penned down, every melody composed – they all have the power to move us. “Inspire Your Heart with Art Day,” observed annually on January 31st, is a celebration of this profound connection between art and the human spirit.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the landscape of the workplace is undergoing a profound transformation. The skills once assumed essential for success are expanding beyond traditional academic abilities. As we prepare our children for the future, it becomes crucial to recognize the value of right-brain skills in shaping their success in the workplace.
