Visual images communicate emotions and complexities that words cannot. The ability to communicate 6  (non-verbal) is 7  (particular) important for children. Art is a powerful tool that gives children the ability to express their thoughts and emotions long before they can 8  (full) express themselves with words.

It’s far better to view a child’s art 10  (slow) and with quiet interest before making any comments.
