Children's paintings are a magical door to their inner world. Children whose vocabulary has not yet developed sufficiently do not have sufficient skills to describe the emotions they experience. When he experiences a situation that upsets him, sometimes he may just cry or get angry. In this case, adults may have difficulty understanding why the child is crying or sulking. When they ask the child, they cannot get a satisfactory answer. Therefore, children's drawings are an important way to reach the inner lives of the child. However, there is an important issue that should not be overlooked here. In general, the interpretation of paintings is very open to reflection. When people look at a picture, they tend to see the parts that show their inner world first. In this case, there is a very strong possibility that the interpreter is reflecting himself when interpreting the child's drawing. For these reasons, it is essential that the child interprets the drawing only by himself. In fact, more accurate answers can be obtained if leading questions are not preferred when asking the child about the picture.
A three-year-old child can explain his little scribbles as "mom", "dad", "car". If the child's drawing is looked at with value and what he tells is listened to with interest, his desire to tell will emerge. Exhibiting these paintings is an indication that we value them. In fact, keeping these pictures in a file is very valuable to look back on in the future.
