Synopsis

This fully-illustated resource, containing 233 delightful, original drawings shows adults how to interpret the hidden meanings in the sketches of a child. The author has sifted through years of research by analysts in many fields. We learn to see what conveys self-esteem, fears and pleasures. We read clues in the trees, houses and stick figures in drawings we casually hang on the fridge. Those drawings, as well as the ones on the wall or in a teen's notebook will never look the same to you with this wealth of information.

About this title

From the Publisher:

"Signals From The Child" fills a void for parents, grandparents and teachers. It provides the necessary and sometimes humorous information to decipher the clues in the everyday drawings of children. This valuable reference, written for the intelligent layperson, has been distilled from the work of art therapists, psychologists, artists, psychiatrists, and teachers.

From the Author:

Exploring the marks we put on paper has been a fascination for me, encompassing forensic graphology, doodles, and for the last decade, children's art. This knowledge took time to absorb and compile, and I regret it was not availble to me earlier in my life. But...here it is for all of you.
