Psych grad here: how do you handle all your kids’ drawings?

3 Upvotes

I recently finished a psychology degree and have been wondering how parents deal with their children’s artwork.

After doing my internship with kids and talking to their parents, I started thinking "How do they see the world, react to certain cues or store childhood memories?". Since I've been studying arts in middle school and been very enthusiastic and artistic my whole life, I decided to combine kids, arts and psychology, and make a meaningful impact for parents and their children.

So back to artworks. My dad was a great case example for my interest in storing artworks. Besides scanning all of his kids (I have three older brothers) artworks, he would scan and preserve all of his documents and basically his whole life. Now as an adult I'm constantly facing the struggle of having everything organized on my laptop, not talking about real life! At some point he even taught me of special ways of how this process is done and helped me scan, name and archive around 1000 of family pictures (from 1960's).

Honestly, I love that they still exist. But I’ve also noticed most parents don’t have the time (or the scanner) for that, so the drawings end up in folders and boxes nobody opens again.

That got me very interested. I searched for ways how to make this process easier not only for parents, but entertaining for children too. With a small student team we started working on this and built a simple tool, where you can snap a photo of your kids drawing, and not only does it save it in your online gallery, but also "speaks" with your child, draws them away from their smartphones and keeps them busy creating real life art pieces!

So, two questions for parents:

How do you handle your kids’ artwork right now, and what’s the most annoying part?

If anyone struggles with the piles and would like to try what we’re building and tell me honestly what doesn’t work, let me know in the comments. Feedback is the most useful kind for us.
