Give an unpopular opinion you think is true:

I think a lot of people invent or exagerrate mental health symptoms just to have somethin ‘interesting’: tourettes, ADHD, Autism, Bipolar. Not saying these aren’t real for a tiny % of people but people are leaning into it and not trying to suppress it

Not all kids art is good. In fact, most of it is bad.

@Ranconteur so true

@Ranconteur No it isn't but that's kind of the point. You hype it up not because it’s museum-worthy, but to encourage them to keep going, to grow.

@ImNotHungry I do do this btw

@TradEmily That's awesome. At the end of the day, when they're still kids, their art isn’t about how ‘good’ it is, it’s about the fact that they made it. A stick-figure drawing of ‘mom, dad, me, and the dog’ is precious not because it’s a masterpiece, but because it came from your child’s heart. That alone gives it value . 😊

@Ranconteur It's lovely . . but some pictures require careful interpretation 🙃 The only criticism I would ever offer is if a child has failed to fill every inch of the paper with colour 🌈

@SunshineGirl that’s fair. Mad props when they put in loads of effort, absolutely.

@Ranconteur Fair enough
