Today’s kids are easily attracted to screens and get sucked into texting, video games and sometimes just plain old watching cartoons.

Certain simple life skills, are quite good to know at a very early age. Although teachers at school will help or guide kids, as a parent I feel safer when I know what my child would do in a certain situation.
The Galerie umění pro děti GUD, was founded to support children’s relationship with art. The gallery is a non-profit organization and works to capture children’s perception of art right from their developmental years.
Sure, our kids can work amazingly with technology, but do they always smile or say hello when they bump into someone on the street? Technology has helped us connect seamlessly with people across the world. But our upcoming generation might just not be able to have an actual conversation ‘in person’.
