Boot Therapy

Aw, the tie that bonds, or is it a paintbrush? Sometimes talking things out with a professional is a good idea. Other times, all that is needed is some time together with those you love.

Sitting down to paint alongside your son or daughter is very therapeutic. It creates a special mother/daughter, mother/son, father/daughter, or father/son bonding that is priceless. Not only is it therapy for the hands with every brush stroke, but it’s calming mentally as well. Certainly buying a MyDesign design-your-own rainboots DIY for kids kit is a lot more affordable than weeks of therapy sessions.

While a professional art therapist is able to delve deep within and help you understand things about yourself through the use of art, there is still plenty of benefits to simply using art as a means to connect with your child or just to relax.

Using art is especially beneficial with young children who may not yet have the skills to know how to express themselves through words. Art therapy has even been discovered to be useful with autistic children as well as those who just find it difficult to communicate for one reason or another. It also has been shown to help people with post traumatic stress syndrome or to ease social anxiety, especially for the very shy.

Sit next to your child and allow him or her to hold the paintbrush and paint to their heart’s content. With the eraser pads, your child will be able to wipe away masterpieces and begin fresh for as often as you want to paint together. Pick up a pair of paintable rainboots in your size, and create your own work of art right alongside your child. The MyDesign boot sizes start with a toddler size 5-6 and move into adult sizing up to a size 10 women’s. You just might be surprised at the bonding experience that will transpire between you and your little one side by side painting in your own DIY kids art therapy session.
