Happy child after the parents paste a sticky tatoo on her shoulder..
Tips for raising a happy child:
Let loose with your children. When the time is appropriate, encourage them to be silly and be silly right along with them. Laughter is good for the soul!
Play board games with your children. Board games teach kids to follow directions and wait their turn, but it is also a wonderful bonding opportunity between parent and child.
Read to your child. Every night at bedtime make time for reading. Reading not only inspires their imaginations, but teaches them to love books and encourages them to read on their own.
Encourage your child to think outside the box. If your daughter colors a picture with a pink sky, tell her it is the most beautiful sky you have ever seen instead of correcting her and telling her that the sky should be blue. Allowing your children to express themselves creatively does wonders for their self-esteem, not to mention their imaginations!
It's okay to not want to participate in the activity your child wants to do. If coloring is not your thing, sit at the table with your child as she colors while doing an activity that you enjoy. Make sure to take time out every few minutes to admire her work. The point is spending time together, not necessarily doing the same thing.
Encourage your child to meet new friends. If you see another child roughly the same age, encourage your child to go over and introduce himself, ask what the other child's name is and extend an invitation to play together. If your child is too shy, help him with the introduction. Walk over to the other child together and say "This is Billy, what's your name." Then ask "Would you guys like to play together?"
Allow your child to solve her own problems among her friends. Teach her to stand up for herself. Of course, you should encourage her to use polite words, rather than actions for problem solving.
Raising a happy child can be challenging at times, but it is so rewarding when you start to see your efforts pay off. Have some fun with your kids today!

Interesting point of view on your daughter, Marina. The image is crisp and clean, and the partial de-saturation works fine. She looks very pensive; different than just a kid smiling at the camera!

Very nicely captured, Marina, and nice conversion to B&W leaving only the tatoo in colours. I really like her concentration looking so proudly at her tatoo. Nice use of shadows & light. Well done!

Hi Marina,
Nice shot, and i like the angle. Maybe try and crop it a bit more to get rid of the background. I think it will make it an even stronger composition then. Try also to PS out the things sticking out on the right of your picture. Nice little girl and i like the highlights on her hair.

Hello Marina,
Beautiful visual, amazed like you did very good the use of the b/w, just leaving the tatoo in colors, small detail, but grandiose.
Congratulations
