draw a person test

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

One of the best things about being a parent is watching your kid learn, discover and develop.  Crawling, sitting up, learning words and potty training can make a parent boast with pride.  Most every kid does these things, but when it is your kid it is magical and scrapbook worthy.  Since this blog is my scrapbook, I imagine you will see more one-eyed monster drawings.

For the record, I am not bragging.  Haven’s not doing anything special here.  Most kids learn how to draw at some point or another.  But as her mommy, I just LOVE seeing her little brain work.  Apparently, there is a test out there that actually exists, appropriately named the Draw-A-Person Test, can provide insight into a child’s intelligence and emotional maturity.  (Here’s where one mom talked about her son’s drawing.)  Since many of us have kids the same age, I thought I would share.

building her portfolio

Haven has really taken an interest in drawing. She wants me to draw a circle so she can then draw a person. Below are portraits of mommy (with an angry face), Kendall, Haven and Ella…in that order. We are also practicing letters and her name, as you could probably have guessed. I think what surprises me most is her sudden interest and ability. It was like almost over overnight this happened.
