Children’s drawings are an important way to express their psychological and emotional states, as they indirectly reflect their feelings, thoughts and experiences. For example, if a child draws a bright and colorful picture, this may indicate his feeling of happiness and joy, but if the child draws a dark and terrifying picture, this may indicate his feeling of fear or anxiety. Thus, understanding children’s drawings can help educators, teachers and parents identify the psychological problems a child faces and provide the necessary support and assistance to overcome them.
Dr. Salma Abu al-Yazid, a mental health consultant, said in her interview with “The Seventh Day” that the lines and colors presented by the child reveal the feelings that the child hides from us, or that he cannot tell us about.

homes
