Introduction
Pablo’s words that every child is an artist and the problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up has become a reality to many. When growing up, most children realize their talents like drawing, singing and some crafty things. They may start practising them but not in a defined way since their young minds can not come up with an entirely exact thing. The child, however, may face a lot of challenges when they grow up fails to become a priority.
Discouragements
At that young age, when a child starts loving a particular thing and dwells on it a lot, she/ he will need a lot of encouragement, especially from the parents. However, these children face a lot of discouragements and parents or society. The kids will stop what they had taken an interest in and even lose value in it, therefore losing a life-time opportunity to fully work on what they were good at right from a young age.
Education
The society has taught our children that education is the essential thing in life. A child will, therefore, spend a lot of time studying, and forget about what he/she was good at from a young age. By the time the child has grown up, all the attention was taken away by studies, completely forgetting the artwork or having a small idea of it and therefore just giving up on it.
Conclusion
Everyone was born having something that they can do excellently. The way a child grew up will determine whether he/she will have an opportunity to continue with the discovered artwork in the future.
