The child draws a tree

Each mom always wants to know more about your baby, especially if you have the opportunity to listen to the opinion of a professional. In the arsenal of child psychologists, there are many picturesque tests to obtain sufficient information about the emotional state of your baby, about his ability to communicate on the level of intellectual development and even much of anything. Today we'll talk about one of them, based on an analysis ... drawn by a child of the tree.
 
The child's relationship to all family members, mistakes in education and ways to correct them - this is not all that is usually the parents want to know about your Chad. And as far as my kid is talented? What are his creativity? What does he feel? And by the way, as he has the intellect? On all these issues without the help of a psychologist, you can answer yourself by using a test developed by psychologists and proposed one of the childcare centers.
Any child, even the most fidgety at times reluctant to draw something. Take a moment and ask the child to draw a tree. Any tree, what he likes. Typically, a child 4-6 years (namely, that age is calculated based test) such assignment does not cause any difficulty. Provide all necessary materials for the little artist, and quietly, without giving advice or arranging picture, wait for the results. A complete picture will help you understand the hidden features, fears, doubts, and character traits of your child, the degree of emotion and imagination of your kid.
Painted? Now let your artist will be engaged with something else (do not forget to praise him!), And you carefully examine the picture. Very important first impression: what emotions you have it is - sadness, joy, calm, dark mood, the feeling of something vibrant, or conversely, apathetic, whether it is reality shows or something unconventional, drawing a bright, lively and delicate, monochromatic, gloomy? Try to get your first score was the most adequate, we should not idealize your child, or conversely to be overly critical.
Now pay attention to the color pattern. It conveys the inner spirit of the child's emotional well. If your kid using a simple pencil and refused to color in general, this indicates a fairly low intellectual level. Sometimes it can mean a bad mood, but such motivation is rare. A child who uses a dark color is clearly emotionally depressed, has a small creative potential and is likely to have memory problems ... It is not excluded, however, that he simply did not want at this time to draw, or theme of the tree he was not interested, and he only yielded to your entreaties ... If your child has used standard for the color theme, then this indicates a normal level of his intellectual and overall development of an adequate, realistic perception of objects and people. Such a child, usually in the same degree of development of abstract and logical thinking. If the tree in front of you, painted in custom colors, it speaks about the original thinking, and violent fantasies. The intellectual level of the "avant-garde" is usually quite high. 

We proceed from the overall impression of detail, they are, as you may guess, have a lot of information. And start with the most important details that children draw in the first place - from the trunk. It symbolizes the inner core of the child, his personal potential. Trunk straight, smooth, regular shape suggests that a person is confident, calm, thoughtful, persistent. True, there can be problems with communicating with their peers, but only at first, these children usually adapt quickly to new circumstances and relationships. If your artist painted the base trunk, extended to the left, then it is - a dreamy introverted, timid and indecisive, not look for his leadership inclinations. Trunk base, advanced to the right shows excessive prudence, perseverance, even stubborn, about the ability to achieve its goals. Such a child is not guided by the opinions of others, he is active and excitable motor, quickly switches from one game or engage in another. Get him away toys after the game - the problem. Barrel closed top - impulsivity, aborted abstract thinking at a fairly low intellectual level. Rounded and extended to both sides to speak about solidity, slowness, responsibility and reliability. But it will almost certainly have such a child has problems with self-esteem.
Now pay attention to the branches. According to psychologists, they are talking about a child with the world, with their peers. Branches in the form of parallel lines show constancy, optimism, vitality. Line branches, diverging to an end - expansion, adventurism, high self-esteem, the desire to assert themselves is not always peacefully. Curved branch - the influence of exposure to someone else, fear to stand out among their peers, respectively - self-doubt. Branches drooping say about melancholy nature, capable of deep feelings, with a rich imagination. Branch, staring up - a tendency to lead, no fear (including reasonable), adventurism. If your little artist identified in the figure only one branch - then it has an unusual way of thinking, a fair amount of imagination, a kind of creative, capable of improvisation (not just in the figures).
Now the subject of our study is very old trees. She said the total energy potential of your child. If the crown is like a cloud, then this indicates a high level of self-control, prudence, diligence in business. Krohn-circle - a calm, self-sufficiency, perhaps - self-centeredness. Crown with swirls tells us about the joy of life, rich enegreticheskom potential, a sense of humor. Crown with scribbles or hatched - anxiety, tension, hesitancy, inability to concentrate, exposure to others' influence.
The roots of the trees the children of this age usually do not draw because they are not visible. But if they appeared in the figure, moreover, you can see clearly done by land line, your child is now something very anxious, worried, insecure, needs your love and support. Wood, latched into the fence, just says that your child is missing from the house of warmth and love. If the tree is inscribed in a landscape, then, on the one hand, there may be a rich imagination and creativity kid, but on the other - his deep self-doubt, fear, open up, vulnerability and painful feelings. If the tree is decorated with fruit, nests, flowers, birds, all this splendor reflects the rich energy potential of the child, optimistic, creative, unconventional beginning. However, these decorations can tell us about vanity, egocentricity, spoiled, needs a constant portion of the recognition, approval. 

Finally, the analysis of the figure should pay attention to how the child takes the line, draws the contour details of paints. Weak, uneven, dotted lines indicate the nature of impulsive, rough, enthusiastic and sensitive. So usually draws a vulnerable, thin feel the emotions of other people (and, therefore, highly vulnerable) child. Hatching inside the barrel - anxiety (most likely on any particular occasion), uncertainty, and secrecy. Playing a drawing of the cortex is usually a good sign, indicating the observation, questioning and critical mind, a fairly high intellectual level.
Here are the main criteria, which, coupled with your observation and intuition will allow you to learn more about your baby. Just do not sit him for drawing the tree violently or by much persuasion - result will be misleading.
