Child Drawing Analysis

Child Drawing Analysis

Did you know? The best way to know your child’s emotional state is to go through their drawings? Most children love to draw and paint, but it’s because they can reflect their emotions and minds to take us to their world and inner thinking. It’s the same way as adult’s express anger, frustration, sadness etc… 

For this reason, the best way to interact with your child is by discussing his/her drawing, but be careful it’s not good to over think your child’s drawing, but rather share the experience of talking about it with them, this would enhance the bond between you.
  





Examples of these drawing would be:

 1)   A Bunch of Balloons:

An analysis by Dr. Martin T. Stein states that such drawings show that a child has a strong bond with their mother’. Although it is a good thing, but learning how to separate the child from their mother would build that independent development every child should have.

2) The Stick-Figure Family

A 5-year old girl drew this drawing, she drew her mother on the far left, followed by the family dog, her father, herself, and her 8-year-old brother. She drew herself larger than what she is, which means she has good confidence in herself. In addition, she positioned herself between her father and brother in her age children start to identify gender. In that age girls most of the time get physically and emotionally closer to their father (on the other hand boys this age gets closer to their mother).

 3)   A Hole in The Ground:

This drawing was by a 7-year- old girl who went with her parents to witness her grandfather’s funeral. The positive thing about this drawing is the bond of the family and how in such a sad moment they stood beside each other, also the ability of this girl to draw emotions of sadness and grief.

Nursery/Kindergarten - The secret to a successful adaptation A child who comes to the nursery for the first time feels alone, lost and helpless. How can you help him? For most children, going to a nursery or kindergarten is the first separation from their parents. They see it as confronting an unfamiliar space, in which parents leave it to strangers. What does the period of adaptation of the child to the nursery or nursery look like? - we prefer to use the term adaptation, and the question that arises is: Who has a harder time living that period? The parent or a child? It is difficult for everyone to fall apart: to the parent - if he or she has never separated from the child, to the child - because he or she feels anxious about the parent. What should the adaptation for the kindergarten look like? ● The first arrival is purely “administrative” - the parent talks to the kindergarten director. ● On the second visit, there is a child with the parents - to see

Shouting at Kids, Does it Work ?

Image
When you start your parental journey, do not even think that you can shout at your children. Well, these are just wonderful, small babies, so gentle and innocent. As your sweet baby grows, it becomes a little child, they are pushing harder and harder to test your limits and patience. Soon you realize that you are not the perfectly patient parent you thought you are.           Capture yourself as you argue with that little person who sounds very mature, but is actually very immature in his development. Testing you in ways you did not even know was possible. But your children are similar to you in some way, either by personality or temperament. These common features are part of what makes it easy for them to play with your patience.           The good news is that we are adults, mature and we can get ourselves out of the bad weather and take ourselves out properly in a stressful situation. This is what you should remember in those moments, when you would rather shou
