Monster No. 1 #ROARcollection Eli's drawing when he was 7 yrs. old. We are coming out with his T-shirt line with the intention of encouraging him to be creative and celebrating his artistry. Also, the profit from his line will be used to open up just first bank account. Teaching him early about the value of work and end-results. Why not, right? It's a good way to support him with his interests and passion. And hopefully, this will empower him and that this little project of his will be a long-term thing. 🖤 #tshirtdesign #linedrawing

The 36-year-old actress came up with this idea when she noticed that Elijah's drawings, which are mostly sketches of dinosaurs, can turn into his source of income.

She said, "I really want to teach him, na at a very young age, that if you work hard on something.

“If you do something that you really love, which is drawing, you can use it as a way to, you know, create money, to have a business-kind of concept."

Meryll also noted that this is her way to encourage the parents to support what their children love doing.

She said, "So, it's really to encourage the parents, hey parents, if you see that your kid is doing something they're really like, it's a good way for them to start something.

"It doesn't have to be a business but, you know, to encourage them for productivity."
