Praising Your Child Can Make A Difference

So, I asked him if I could have that picture. With a big smile on his face he saw that I really liked that one, so he gave it to me. I immediately placed it in a folder that I used for work.

Kyle knew that I carried that folder to work every day. He would often ask to see that picture and it would always be within arm's reach of where I was sitting. Overrepparttar years, I would constantly be looking at that picture when he was inrepparttar 110643 room. As a matter of fact, I recently decided to scan that picture and put it onrepparttar 110644 Internet for even you to see. I never got around to having it framed and matted -- I guess I must have known I'd be using it!

Why did I put it onrepparttar 110645 Internet? Because I still want him to know how much that picture means to me.

One other thing I forgot to mention. He's now 18 years old. He's never let a day go by without drawing something. He began drawing what I always wanted him to draw, "pencil portraits" and back when he was only 14 years old.

One of his first pencil portraits was duringrepparttar 110646 Presidential debate between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Kyle came home from school with a brochure he got during class as they were discussingrepparttar 110647 debate. He sat down and drew a very good likeness of what would later becomerepparttar 110648 President ofrepparttar 110649 United States. You can seerepparttar 110650 drawing of George W. Bush on Kyle's website....http://www.kylehilton.com
