You should always support your kids and their natural talents. And if you nurture them, great things will happen. That’s what 9-year-old Joe Whale’s parents thought when they encouraged their son to keep drawing, even though he got into trouble for doodling during class.
They sent Joe to an after-school art class and his artistic abilities were quickly noticed by those around him. In fact, Joe was invited to decorate the dining room of the “Number 4” restaurant in Shrewsbury, England. Now, Joe is known as The Doodle Boy and has his own website, as well as social media pages showing off his awesome art. According to Joe’s dad Greg, his son has “always” loved drawing and “was added to the Gifted register in primary school aged 4.”
Greg also revealed how long it took Joe to finish his drawings on the dining room walls in the restaurant. “Joe spent about 12 hours illustrating the wall.” What’s more, Greg had some advice for parents who want to encourage their kids to develop their talents, “I would advise parents to encourage their children to always follow their passion and dreams — research local workshops or groups within your local community.”
