My kids go to music class since they were 9 months old, and just like any child, the go through phases. Sometimes they absolutely love it, talk about it all week and can´t wait to get to class. Some other times, well... not so much. This happened in one of these weeks when they panic, throw tantrums and beg not to go. I am always pretty firm and make them go anyway, leaving not much room for discussion.
So they pouted and when on to class. On their way out, the teacher of my oldest came to talk to me. She said that he didn´t participate in class and that he was actually disturbing it a lot. So, on an attempt to make him quiet down a little, she gave him pencils and paper and asked him to make a drawing. She hesitated a little before showing me his artwork, a white sheet of paper all scribbled in black saying: FOR FREEDOM!
He was only six!
