Mistakes We Parents Make Introducing Our Kids To Art
I have wanted to make this video for a long time, but every time I made it, to me, I came across as one of those arrogant parents who try to lecture other parents on how to bring up their own children. I hope I have got it right this time but I want to make it very clear, this is not a blame game or finger pointing exercise, it is simply a showcase of the mistakes Vicky and I made to our kids when it came to art and in particular our eldest daughter Niamh.
I have also completed a written account of our experience and I know some of you prefer to read about issues rather than watch a video. I have included a link below which will take you straight to the written review by clicking on it.
After you have watched the video, if you have any questions about the topic please by all means leave them in the comment section or share your own experience of how you introduced your kids to art. I have always felt the comment section both on my YouTube videos and website is the most important part to the entire Art Gear Guide community. All so often, the best information is discovered in the comment section, once a conversation has begun, loads of other artists contribute and so many vital tips, techniques and personal experiences are shared.

I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, your love and support throughout the entirety of my art journey has been suitably overwhelming. I often wonder what I have done to deserve such warmth, love and support.
If you are new to the channel I would like to warmly welcome you, as I was once warmly welcomed and embraced into the arms of the art community. I would also like to assure you that the community which has evolved around The Art Gear Guide, is a community like no other. Should you wish to seek advice from members within the community, with a huge amount of biases I can assure you that you will receive help and advice like no other community on YouTube.
The wonderful artists that have so amazingly supported The Art Gear Guide over the years, consists of the most gracious, knowledgeable, compassionate and generous individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. None of this by the way has anything to do with me, all I have done is to publish reviews, the rest is as a result of the most wonderful people.
Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart, you will never truly know the depths of my gratitude as there are no words in the English language powerful enough to portray such emotions.
