Learn what your child wants now. Not a new toy or video game…but what and how he wants to live in his/her own space.
Many kids live in a troubled space… they may be going through a divorce or an issue with their friends. Where do they go to be accepted and safe… is it at home? Their space isn't the entire home…it's their own personal space. Is it their bedroom or part of a room they might have to share.
Can parents learn to accept the "decorating" habits of kids? Can a parent embrace the creative nature of kids and let them have thier "space"? Will a parent share in the creative needs of kids and help to make the space "safe" and loving?
The author involves the reader in stories about kids healing through hands-on "decorating".
Meet Henry… his parents are divorced, and he is reminded of his dad's farm through the decor (some made by himself) in his room
Meet Jessica… her self-esteem was low. Now she has a place of belonging in her own room.
Meet Anna and Alexis. Step-sisters overcoming their anger and becoming friends through the power of decorating and hands-on decorating.
These stories and photographs show readers how to take good childlike ideas – from the heart – and turn them into something with their hands.
Every project is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, questionnaires and fun exercises.
