This past week I have been writing about art and natural disasters. I have met many people who lost prized art items during disasters. Even if it happened years before they still mourn the loss.
For many people the loss of their child's art work is also a very poignant blow. A child's artwork is a powerful emotional connection to the many years and memories which they have shared. A sentimental treasure which you are unable to replace at any cost.
With a little planning you can make sure to always retain at least a portion of your child's creative creations.
1. Pick out pictures which your child made at different ages and mail them to a trusted out-of-area contact.
2. Place some similar child art into your safety deposit box.
3. Scan your favorite pictures and cards from your child onto your computer.
4. Store some of the smaller drawings and literary efforts in the back of a framed object which you always evacuate.
