Theatre-related activities can benefit your child's development in many ways, and these opportunities aren't just available through your local theatre troupe or drama class. Your child can develop her imagination through theatre-related activities like acting, singing, performing, or even just playing pretend, reading aloud to books, and imagining things around the house.

Most of us dreamed to direct our own movies when we were youngsters. When we spotted something spectacular happening, we would take a carton, design it to resemble a clapperboard, and yell "cut" at it. The fact that we lacked today's sophisticated technology made things challenging.

Now that we live in the digital age, when technology is pervasive, any child can become a filmmaker as long as they have even the slightest enthusiasm or desire for making movies.

They only require a little parental assistance and direction to be successful.
