"'You know your kids love you but you don't see them talk about you,' Katz, whose daughters are 10 and 12, tells TODAY.com. 'The space between you and your child when you send them to preschool for the first time just feels so wide, and you're just hoping that they're OK. Getting to be on the other side of it and seeing how much love these kids have for their parents ... I had no idea. You don't see.'"
"The way you are obsessed with your children - and you go to work and you tell people about your children and how awesome and amazing they are - your children feel the same way about you,"
"'I just felt that so many kids by the time they get to second grade start to feel that they're bad at art,' she explains. 'So I wanted to go back to the beginning and see these kids before they were affected by those things. Every project is really about self-esteem.'"
Naava Katz posted an Instagram reel showing preschool students making art expressly for their parents and announcing, 'I'm making this for my Mommy.' The clip highlights children openly expressing admiration and bragging about their parents while crafting drawings at a little table. The reel reached over two million views in under two weeks and generated strong emotional responses from parents, especially mothers. Katz transitioned to teaching preschool to protect children's art self-esteem and intentionally centers projects on confidence. Many mothers commented that hearing that their children adore them provided reassurance and countered lingering parental self-doubt.
