Mommy and Me paint classes create an opportunity for you and your child to hang out, learn new things, and have some fun! Spending quality time with your child is one of the most important things you can do to develop a deep bond. To help parents better understand why these early bondings are so vital, below are some benefits of Mommy and Me classes for both you and your child.
Being a parent is the most significant job you will ever have. It is incredibly rewarding and amazing, but can also be exhausting, stressful and, at times, lonely! As a parent it is important to build relationships with other mommies or daddies and continue to feel like part of a bigger community. Mommy and Me classes help promote a sense of balance for parents by allowing them the opportunity to socialize and meet other parents with similar interests. Making new friends with children of similar age creates a beneficial support system. A great way to do that is through Mommy and Me classes at Geaux Paint!
Experiencing your child in a class setting can be a great way to get to know them better. During Mommy and Me classes, you gain insights into what fascinates them, what doesn't intrigue them, and what they are drawn to. You also see where they initiate and where they need encouragement. Every parent-child relationship is special, unique and can be cultivated by spending quality time together. Participating in Mommy and Me classes allows parents focused time in a playful environment to interact with their child.
Finding an interactive class with music creates an environment where parents can bond with their children and other parents! Mommy and me paint classes are more than just fun. Singing along with your child exposes them to a new means of expression as they find and use new words together with you. The action of lending your voice in song with your child is social, emotional, and language building. And perhaps best of all, it creates a secure bond.
IMPROVES MOOD
Painting allows for emotional release by stimulating the creative side of your mind while focusing your attention in one place, which can lower anxiety. In this way, the creative outlet improves your mental health significantly.
STRENGTHENS THE PARENT/CHILD BOND
Taking a paint class with your child helps you connect on a different level. Engaging with your child in class also allows parents to observe how their child learns best. Through paint and music, you and your child will learn how to better communicate with each other!
ENCOURAGES A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
The introduction to creative activity through painting at a young age encourages children to value arts and development of self expression. As they grow, they’ll build on the foundation they learn.
ALLOWS PARENTS TO BUILD CONNECTIONS
Mommy and Me classes help promote a sense of balance for parents by allowing them the opportunity to socialize and meet other parents with similar interests. Making new friends with children of similar age creates a beneficial support system.
HELPS INCREASE INDEPENDENCE
Participating in Mommy and Me classes helps little creatives build confidence through independent and group participation. As classes progress, positive reinforcement opens pathways to individual accomplishment. The more they paint, the more independent they become!
ENHANCES SOCIAL AWARNESS
Classes allow children to interact with others and make new friends! Adjusting to new people and new circumstances is a first step toward building social confidence.
PROVIDES SENSORY STIMULATION
Children learn best when using all their senses; so engaging in a class that provides visual, auditory, physical and tactile stimulation is extremely beneficial for overall growth. This aids developmental aspects like fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving, and more!
INCREASES CONFIDENCE
As a child increases independence as stated above, they also boost their overall confidence. They feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. The greater their confidence, the greater their development.
FOSTERS LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
In classes, children are learning important communication and language skills. As they develop vocabulary and increase auditory skills, they begin to understand how to follow directions and make the most out of classes
Above all else, you’ll find that Mommy and Me classes provide you the chance to not just watch, but actively take part in your child’s growth and development. In our opinion, there’s no better feeling of satisfaction than that!
