Psychologists consider that by means of drawings children give vent to emotions overflowing them; it is their way to understand the world and themselves. It is not surprising that through drawing you can tell a lot of things about children perception of the world and life.
Draw us!
Thoughts ask for drawing. Wish to glance in your kid’s soul? Choose time when a child takes pencils and an album, and suggest him drawing a family. Do not prompt and specify, whom exactly he should draw. Do not disturb your small Raphael, and watch him quietly. Probably, new discoveries are waiting for you.
Daddy, mum, me …
In what sequence a child has drawn family members? If he is the first, this does not mean he is egocentric. This is good. After all, a kid draws his world, where he is a main kind wizard. However, if he drew only himself, this means he does not feel a member of a family, exists in himself. After himself, as a rule, a child draws a family member, considered the most important for him.
Dumb animals – a cat and a dog usually appear on a paper the last. And if such friend appeared second, this means a kid is lonely. If a child “forgot” to draw someone from relatives, this is a disturbing signal. So, this “someone” is unpleasant to a kid. Perhaps, this is revenge for recent insult or punishment.
All children want to grow sooner, therefore they draw themselves on a level with adults – well, maybe little lower. If a kid drew himself very small, possibly, he depends on parents too much, they prevent him from showing his own individuality.
All together
If all relatives stand nearby and hold hands, a child feels a part of single whole family. He is assured of general love to him.
A child draws his favorite person he trusts entirely closer to himself. Parents who communicate little with each other and child, will appear on a sheet of paper in different corners or in separate windows, divided by lines. It is worse, if they stand backs to each other.
Younger brothers or sisters also often appear away from all the others. If they are also of microscopic sizes, this means, a child is jealous and struggles for attention of parents. And smiles from ear to ear, bows, florets, balloons flying like butterflies – a sure sign a child feels good in this world.
Feet, hands, head
What you can tell about an author of drawing? Preschool children draw all parts of face and body already accurately, without forgetting details. Absence of any part of body guards. Long hands of some relative say about a child’s fear to be punished. If daddy often abuses a child, a child can “forget” drawing his mouth. Big and thick feet testify that a child feels intensity in a family and aspires to more reliable base of family relations subconsciously
A kid who feels uncomfortable in the world draws ugly people with spreadeagled hands and thumbs. An author, drawing long-legged people, most likely, aspires to independence, and if a beginning artist represents all with hands lifted upwards, it is not so good. This means, he likes inspiring fear, whe peope are afraid of him.
Tenderness has colour of the sky
A kid will try to paint the most loved and dearest creature to him with the same colour he paints himself. Energetic and restless usually choose warm and hot colours – crimson and orange. Silent, pensive, serious kids prefer cold tones. They like dark blue, blue, pale yellow. Contrast of black and white – reflexion of internal conflict a child cannot consult in any way.
And still pay attention, how your child paints an image. If a pencil continually jumps out contour limits, this means, a kid is freedom-loving and allocated by independence gift. If drawing is painted accurately and if there is a white strip between a contour and primary colour, this is a sign that a kid is not self-assured, feels defenceless and requires your support constantly.

美满家庭，你的孩子画些什么？
心理学家认为，画画是孩子们表达他们膨胀情绪的一种方式，这是他们在了解世界和自己，所以，你可以通过孩子的画去了解他们对这个世界和生活的感知也就不奇怪了。
画我们吧！
思想可以用画来表达，想知道你的孩子心灵深处在想些什么？当孩子拿起画笔和画簿时，花点时间看看吧！你可以建议他画画自己家，不要提示或指定他应该画谁。不要打扰你的小拉斐尔，静静地看着他，或许你会有新的发现。
爸爸，妈妈，我……
孩子是怎样安排家庭成员顺序的呢？如果他自己是第一位，那并不意味着他以自我为中心，这是一件好事。毕竟，孩子画的是他自己的世界，他是掌控一切的奇才。但是，如果他只画他自己，那他的家中只有他自己一个，他并没感觉到其他成员的存在。画好自己后，通常接下来他会画家里对他最重要的一位成员。
无言的宠物——通常接着是一只猫或一只狗会出现。如果是这样一位朋友出现在第二位，这说明这个孩子是孤独的。如果孩子“忘记”将某一位成员忘记，这意味着他很烦恼。也就是说，他不喜欢“这位成员”。也许这是为了要“报复”他最近的责骂或惩罚。
孩子们都希望快快长大，所以都把自己画得和成人一样高——嗯，也许会矮那么一点点。如果孩子吧自己画得很小，这可能是他太依赖父母了，父母阻止了他个性的张扬。
一起
如果收有的成员都站得很近而且手牵着手，孩子就会觉得自己是家里的一员。自己被爱包围着。
孩子会将他最信任最喜欢的那个人画得更靠近自己。父母亲彼此之间还有与孩子之间如果沟通很少，那在画里，他们就会在不同的地方，或出现在不同的窗子里，被用线条隔开。如果他们是背对背站着，意味着情况更糟糕。
通常，弟弟或妹妹会远离其他人。如果他们被画得很小，这就是说，画画的小孩很嫉妒，努力地要吸引父母的注意力。开心的笑容，鞠躬，小花，像蝴蝶飞舞的气球——这些都说明孩子觉得世界很美好。
脚，手，头
你能从画者的画里看出点什么？学前儿童已经能正确的画出五官和身体了，不会忘掉任何一部分。如果他没画某一部分，你就该注意了。某位成员的长手意味着小孩害怕被罚。如果爸爸经常责骂小孩，孩子就会“忘记”画他的嘴。一双又大又厚的脚说明小孩在家里感到很紧张，在潜意识里，他希望在家里更有安全感。
孩子如果感到生活的世界不舒服，他就会将人画得很丑，有着鹰一样的手和手指。如果他将人的脚画得长长的，说明他渴望独立，而如果这位小艺术家将所有人的手都画得举得高高的，这并不是一件好事。这意味着，当别人害怕他时，他感到很兴奋。
柔和与天空的颜色一样
孩子会将他最喜欢最敬爱的人画成和他一样的颜色。活力与不耐通常使用暖色和强烈的色调——深红与橘黄。安静，喜欢沉思，严肃的小孩喜欢用冷色调。他们喜欢深蓝色，蓝色和浅黄色。如果黑白反差强烈——这说明小孩内心非常矛盾，他很难被说服。
同时，你还要注意孩子画画的方式。如果画笔不断超出轮廓，这说明孩子喜欢自由自在，个性独立。如果图画上色准确，轮廓与原色之间有空白，这是孩子不自信，感到无助的表现，他需要不断地鼓励。
