While providing parents in a Southern California school district with parenting workshops, we are closing out the series with healing arts through AWBW. The goal is to aid their own creative approaches in leading healing arts with their children and mutually engaging in these art opportunities. The themes of the healing arts workshops are to cultivate communication, foster emotional expression, and create spaces for openness and authenticity in their parenting.
One participant was eager to share the artwork shown here, and she felt pride in tapping into artistic interests and felt these art activities were sustainable and replicable in her household. She felt empowered to lead her children through these arts, and also shared that she plans to share the benefit of engaging in art as a part of parenting with other peers/parents.
