Exploring Generosity and Art: Random Gifts of Art

This spring, as part of our Values curriculum and Art Program, we invited TEDx speakers Garret Garrels and Tim Holmes to lead a workshop at IMSP for our Elementary classes.

TEDx speakers Garret Garrels and Tim Holmes travel the world with their Random Gifts of Art project, exploring community, communication and human connection through the sharing of art work. This spring, IMSP invited them to present their workshop to our Elementary classes. Under Garret's and Tim's guidance, our students created and gave away their art on a busy day in Prague. Watch the video to share their experience!

Tantrums and difficult transitions are two of the trickiest challenges parents face with toddlers. Even the most predictable schedules can sometimes lead to moments of overwhelm for your child, leaving you searching for ways to respond effectively. The good news is, with a little creativity and some gentle adjustments to your routine and environment, you can reduce these moments of frustration and help your toddler navigate them more smoothly.
