<< Children's work is encouraged (regardless of quality) and is discarded.

I hesitated a little bit, because I agree with most of the post and what I am about to post is a bit of a tangent. That said, some of work can and will be discarded for sure, but our family unit is now looking into some way of preserving my kids work to show the progress made. I think it will be a fun memento.




I'm a parent and sure we posted the children's art on the fridge etc. We even kept some of it as momentos.

But of course it has no value beyond the sentimental- the nostalgia and so on.

Of course your child's work means something to you, but the work itself isn't the value. It's the reminder of what they were.
