Talking about pictures of your child

Small children are unable to talk about their feelings and experiences.

As parents to understand what is happening with the child? He's upset, happy, sad or afraid of something?

Psychologists advise to look into a child's drawing.



Color.

• If the child correctly uses all the colors: grass green, sky blue, sun yellow. There is no reason to worry - the child feels harmoniously.
• If the picture is dominated by red color . The baby is very active. Possible hyperactivity.
• If the figure used the color blue. It is possible that the child is sad or misses someone from the family.
• Black color and strokes, tearing paper, should alert parents, so how can you talk about the fear and depression experienced by the child.

Plot.

Children draw what they are interested in and what they care about.

• If the child draws your favourite heroes or cartoons . Parents need not worry - the child feels comfortable and enthusiastic story.Such children easily learn something new.
• If the child loves to draw animals . Parents can judge the mental state of the child on the mood of the animal, which he portrayed. Children often convey their experiences drawn little animals.
• The picture is filled with tanks, planes, battles. For boys these figures are absolutely normal.They allow you to splash out the child's natural aggression.
• The picture of the scene of disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis), violence. The figure should cause parents concern and attention. These stories testify to the fears and anxiety of the child.

Family portrait.

• If a child depicts all the family members together. The child feels comfortable and confident.
• If a child depicts themselves separately or smallerthan other children in the family. The child feels unloved, it is not enough parental care and attention.
• The lack of a family member or a picture of it in the far corner of the drawing . A child never forgets to draw all members of the family, no family member or branch of his evidence of conflict between them.
• Figure fictional characters (people, animals) . The child lacks the communication, he feels loneliness.
• The absence of the figure itself. If the child drew a picture of himself at a family portrait, perhaps he doesn't feel needed and loved.

Children's drawings give parents invaluable information on the attitude of the child.
