They can make the most adorable pictures, but this is not always the case. Watch out for these signs.
According to several specialists, the first doodles of the little ones can show a lot of their personality and some warning signs that you should consider.
Aggression, disobedience
Very prominent teeth, long arms with closed hands, claws instead of fingers. Marked asymmetry of the extremities. Drawing repeated numbers, letters, signs, or objects, starting small and ending very large.
Anxiety, fear
The child can be drawn inside a closed space as a refuge. The faces he draws are very non-expressive. If the fear is towards a specific person, it will represent them with short arms or without them. The presence of anxiety can also be reflected in the shading of the face.
The motivation for learning and school
The drawings are centered, take up much of the paper, are proportionate and rich in detail. The little one who is motivated draws smiling faces, with big eyes and very expressive. The arms are open and the legs are well defined.
Egocentrism
The heads are huge and if it is a family or multi-person drawing, the child is drawn first and stands out above the rest.
Obsessive behaviors and thoughts
The little one always draws the same theme or uses the same colors. If you make a mistake or think that it has not turned out well, you feel very anxious. Delete frequently!
Perseverance
It is distinguished by well-contoured figures with many details. The characters appear with an expressive face and with all the elements. Well defined hair. If the color is used, a large part of the drawing has been filled. Stroke calm and with good attention.
Attention deficit and impulsivity
Disorganized drawing, poorly defined and without details. The objects that appear are unreal or very distorted. He tends to draw only elements of his interest and occupies the entire space of the paper with few ill-disposed shapes. When attention deficit and impulsivity coincide, drawing becomes more a tension discharge than a pleasant activity.
Crossed laterality
Figures, letters or numbers are presented in an inverted form and the line of the drawing is irregular with distorted shapes.
Self-control
They are very symmetrical drawings, with well-proportioned wavy shapes. If the drawing is colored, the contour limits are not crossed.
Self-esteem
A child with a good self-concept organizes the space he has on his drawing sheet well, the people he draws are large and have open arms and hands. Her expression is happy.
Social or peer relationship problems
When a child is experiencing a conflict situation, he usually draws his arms close to the body, with a neutral or sad expression. The size of the figure depends on how you deal with it. If he experiences it as aggression to which he must stand up, he will draw it large, if he feels helpless, afraid or unable to overcome the problem, he will draw the small figure.
Mental disability
The fundamental feature is poverty. They are asymmetric drawings on the extremities and / or little integration of the parts.
