My Little Photographer

 At the age of six, I've seen how my son has improved in his behavior and learning. His nursery 2 years ago was really challenging for us. Absurd to say but it seemed that I got used to receiving frequent reports from his school principal and meeting with his teacher and some of the parents to talk about how terribly he misbehaved toward his classmates and showed temper-tantrums. It was really a learning experience as a first-time mom. I realized that it wasn't wrong to ask for help. And, we were so lucky we've found an early intervention from his school.

One of the things that I've learned in helping my child's personality development  is the importance of bringing out what's best in him. At an early age, I let him discover his own interests. As much as I can, I pay attention to the activities he chooses.

What I have discovered lately is his love for art: from music to pictures or drawings. He loves taking photographs as much as he loves singing. Before, he just took pictures using his dad's phone and it was such a blessing when one of his grandmas gave him an Olympus camera last summer.      


                      

I noticed that my child started to develop an interest in photography when he spent most of the time with his granny. She always loves taking pictures of captivating views and shares them to her family. She also takes photos of her grandchildren and post them on Facebook. Indeed, we, parents and loved ones can be liaisons between our child's special talents and the real world.

As a proud mom, here are some of his awesome shots from his camera. These were taken inside the church one Sunday morning.

Since photography is one of my child's interests, every time we prepare to go out we always ask him, "Are you bringing your camera?", and when he hears this, he will just grab his camera bag and hang it on his shoulder.

Aside from taking random pictures, we love taking selfies too! And, we have a lot!:)
