A common situation: a three-year Nikita is happy and gives the mother a drawing that he made her as a gift. Today at the lesson in kindergarten, the kid thought about how he handed his mother a picture of a house, flowers and sunshine. The teacher praised him for his diligence. The boy is waiting for the approval of my mother, but she casually slipped a glance at the piece of paper, put it in a gift bag, and told the child to go home. The young woman is unclear what the Grand mental work was done by her son. Nikita wanted to show how much he loves her, what they have a beautiful house and how happy he is. Instead of encouragement, the boy received a portion of the maternal indifference. In principle, its behavior is also understandable: I'm tired after work, the day was not easy, we must hurry to prepare dinner. At this point, the mother, of course, has no idea what the consequences of his act she will see soon, when suddenly the son starts crying or tell her I love her more. On reception at the psychologist, the parents usually complain that there are no prerequisites for such behavior of the baby was not. Say, cranky for no reason.
How to act
Mom and dad must accept all of the DIY child with a smile, be sure to praise, Pat on the head, say kind words, even if drawn cat looks more like a BLOB. It is necessary to look closely at the picture, ask question on what is wanted to portray the young artist. It may be noted that it was very good, but that can be corrected. Criticism in this age to not be.
For pictures is to have a separate folder, and for the best DIY - box. Children appreciate moments of emotional communication, when adults say about them, view photos or drawings. Thus the baby is brought up respect for the results of their work, formed self-esteem and, most importantly, strengthens the desire to continue the creative process. Son or daughter feel that their drawings are the road to adults, so they are happy to undertake a new task.
Figurative language is the key to understanding the child's perception of the world, his state of mind. Sensitivity, patience and care from adults is necessary for the full development of the preschooler.
