Di di's first drawings

When I'm still thinking whether should stop di di from the art class, yesterday di di has surprised me by showing these 2 pictures he drew. I was amazed because this is the first time he draw something that I understand !!!

However I'll still decided to stop him from the art class because his art teacher has commented that he still can't hold the pencil correctly and not strong enough to press harder when drawing so I guess he is still not ready for this. Anyway, I still feel ok with it because he is only 3 years + hence it is normal his fingers muscle still not really well developed just need some others activities to train up like playing sand, play doh and etc all these will be emphasized in his coming kindergarden which is ko ko's current kindergarden. Ko ko last time also can't really hold a pencil before he went kindi but now he has no problem in writing at all and guess what he like it !

I felt the main problem to let kids expose to writing too early are:- firstly they may lost interest in writing because they can't write well due to their muscle not well developed but yet parents/teachers give pressure to write hence they will feel not confident. Secondly because they can't hold a pen correctly but yet still being exposed early to hold it hence it may cause wrong posture to hold a pen which later may hard to correct it. Lastly, our kids only have one childhood in a lifetime so we should let our kids enjoyed it in the way they want and not the way we want !!!

I have plan to send di di to Music kids, Yamaha this coming October hope he likes it since he like music and singing very much. I will also consider to continue him in art class when he is ready and have interests later.
