Join me on Sunday, June 5! A fun time for creative play together as a family!

Come build a cardboard world at the Asian Art Museum! 

Sunday, June 5 at 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM


Asian Art Museum
200 Larkin St, San Francisco, California 94102


 The Box Project returns! Developed by artist Eliza Gregory, parents and children alter and play with reused cardboard boxes as they would at home, but on an unusually grand scale. Stick around for the Moment of Destruction — a chance to summon your inner beast and destroy the projects that were built during the day.

Professional parenting educator Nancy Gapasin Gnass curates information about parenting and creativity for participants to take home, and, along with Gregory, is on hand to answer questions and provide an intellectual framework for the experience.

The Box Project celebrates acts of creativity that take place in the home by temporarily placing them in a museum context to catalyze a conversation about creativity, parenting and the gallery space as a creative hub. The project asks: Can we teach creativity? What does that look like? When is parenting itself fundamentally about creativity? How can we become better parents by acknowledging those times? And how can the museum support families in this endeavor?

Don't Forget To Take Care of Yourself

Dealing with the Corona Virus turns parenting up a notch, or for some, too many notches. This is a difficult time. The New York Times recently had an article, Parents Need Stress Relief, Too .  These are the coping methods they suggested: 1) Give yourself grace. 2) Don't judge coping styles. 3) Remember sleep hygiene. 4) Timebox your worries. 5) Social distancing doesn't mean you should stop being social. 6) Help others as much as you can. I'd like to add a couple more things to this list: 7) Stop reading about parenting.  Enough already. Follow your gut. Since you're reading this, you've read plenty.  Now just do what you feel works for you and your family. Too much information about parenting is anxiety inducing.  I know this from personal experience.  Yes, there is always more, or something better you can do, but go back to the first suggestion on this list: Give yourself grace. Just give lots of love and affection, don't worry what others might thi...

Building Up the Partnership Relationship For Our Own And Our Child's Health

  Pandemic Shows Children's Well-Being Rests On Parents' Psychological Health (October, 2020) means that we have to take care of ourselves, to take care of our children. It's taking us to the basics: the top three parenting practices: 1) Love and Warmth 2) Relationship Skills, and 3) Stress Management. After reading this article about parental psychological health, it made me personally want to work on my relationship with my partner.

I don't need stress in my relationship, if it's coming from all other angles outside of it too. Maybe you feel the same way.  So this week I'm focusing on relationships. This article has three steps to reconnect with your partner, but I decided to just focus on one this week to work on. "Express what you cherish in your p...
