Learn to identify elements which are indicative of fear and distress

One of the problems that parents, therapists and educators are facing is how to identify fears children have, but prefer not to talk about.

The objective when looking for signs of fear and distress in children's drawings is to help them overcome their difficulties while opening a communication channel of support and understanding, based on thorough analysis of their drawings.

In this comprehensive lesson, summarizing the extensive literature in this field, you will gain understanding about the variety of signs indicative of fear and distress in children's lives.

These signs will be supported by dozens of examples of children's drawings from all around the world. Using these signs, as taught in the lesson, will enable you to acquire understanding of the child's emotional condition and how you should proceed with his treatment.

During the lesson you will learn:

• What are the indicators that show us that the child is crying out for help, without using words? 
• What are some of the warning signs that appear in children's drawings that require report to the authorities? 
• How can you distinguish between age-appropriate, normative fears and fears and anxieties originating from negative life events? 
• What are the signs of emotional neglect? How are these signs different from signs of physical abuse?
• How do drawings indicate separation anxiety?
• What are some indications that children feel they cannot trust others?
• How is fear of animals represented in children's drawings?
