In the formation of a person, an important part of the processes of personality development is the understanding of images, symbols and forms that are created by our psyche for harmonization.

As soon as a child begins to learn to draw, the biggest mistake immediately occurs. We close the child's path to self-knowledge and self-understanding. Indeed, through our drawing it is much easier to understand and know ourselves, which a priori becomes impossible when from childhood we are taught to look closely at others.

Many will say, but how should a child see things of the right shape and in the right colors. The concept of "correct" is itself - abstract. After all, the sky is not always blue, and the sun is far from yellow. If you look closely, you yourself will see more than 30 shades of different colors in the sky. But, your child may not see this, if from childhood you do not give him the choice to see for himself, what he wants to see himself. And since I, as a psychologist with almost 16 years of work experience, I can safely say that you cannot teach to draw !!!

And if you teach professionally, then in art schools and after 8 years.

I will give a number of arguments why it is harmful to teach a child under 8 to draw:

1. Color and shape, lines on a sheet of paper are the child's way of self-expression, and as soon as mom starts commenting that the sun should be round, looking at the child's square sun. He will immediately find another way of self-expression and it will be whims, shouts, etc.

2. During preschool age, when the child goes through a very delicate and important stage of growing up socialization, the drawing will give you an understanding of the possible difficulties and experiences in this regard. But only if you did not forbid the child to draw what he wants. For example: one mom, whose child is very aggressive towards others, takes pride in the fact that she always forbade drawing war and fights. So the child brought everything that he could leave on a piece of paper in real social relations with the world.

3. The child has the right to his surrealism, therefore, it is categorically impossible to correct the child's drawings, to try to make them more beautiful or correct. If the child gets used to this position, then mistakes in adulthood will also be corrected by you.

4. Each random drawing of a child is getting rid of negative states, emotions that he could not speak, energy that has nowhere to throw away, therefore, when parents begin to help with plots, they unconsciously block the psychological channel through which the child can stabilize his psycho-emotional state. You can help a child with the choice of a plot when he really asks for it, and then only with a magic phrase - "Draw what you want to draw."

5. The next important question parents ask. How to draw a child? After all, it is great to have 64 beautiful, different felt-tip pens, which give a very clear and thin and even line. But if we consider drawing as a form of self-help, then only drawing with liquid paint, which is easy to mix and makes it possible to experiment with shape and different colors, and even wax crayons give the effect of a real therapeutic space in the drawing.

6. Never criticize or compare the child's drawings, through the acceptance of the product of your child's creative activity, you accept the process of his becoming as a person. After all, the child's logic is that if the drawing is bad, then I am bad for my mother. Therefore, do not be afraid to praise the child, because each drawing is a part of the manifestation of the soul of your little miracle, its individuality and originality.

7. It is important to note that the process of drawing for children is a way of self-knowledge, and it is very important not to miss out on such an important psychological and pedagogical tool as drawing. Simple questions for a child - Who is drawn in the picture? What is he like? What is he doing? What mood is he in ?, give parents an opportunity to look into the child's soul and see possible problems.

8. The world of fantasies and fairy tales, which is reflected in the picture, reveals new horizons of his own imagination for the child and this is a very significant sphere of the child's life. If the parents constantly return the child to the harsh reality, this significantly reduces the children's ability to fantasize, the intellectual development of the personality is impoverished, and the possibilities of creative, imaginative thinking are reduced. But think for yourself, before something appears in reality, this something appears in someone's fantasy. Don't kill the creator in your child!

9. It is important to say that the child himself begins to be proud of himself when he sees the products of his creativity in drawings, which is the best means for the psychological prevention of neurotic personality disorders, anxiety, fears and low self-esteem. But, and how you will be proud of your child, neither say in a fairy tale, nor describe it with a pen.

10. Drawing is the very first form of self-expression of humanity and the most ancient means of socialization. Rock paintings convey to us the whole path of development of society and civilization, so let your child go through his path of development in drawings.
