My preschooler makes pictures at home and wants to carry a thick pile to every activity session. I like the pride, but the bag is bursting. How do you pick a few favourites without turning selection into criticism?
The child might choose one picture for today and another for next week. That turns selection into anticipation instead of rejection.
Make a small portfolio and let the child choose one to carry that day.
The one-picture choice is simpler than negotiating the whole stack.
Offer to photograph the others so they still feel remembered.
