Learn about the surprising similarity between children and trees

This lesson includes a wide range of instructive tree drawing examples by children of various ages. These examples will enable you to clearly understand multiple aspects of children's personality and condition. 

During the lesson you will find useful answers to vital questions such as:

• How does a child cope socially and educationally at school?
• What is the quality of his relationships with parents and significant others?
• How do children cope with changes and transitions?
• What abilities and strengths are available to children when having to cope with difficulties?
• Does the child have memories of negative life events that keep affecting his current behavior?
• What is the child's self-image and why?
• Is your child going through a crisis but cannot share it in words?

Since tree drawings are considered in the academic literature as a projective tool and are frequently drawn, they will help you form an updated and comprehensive assessment of the child. 

The tools and methods acquired in this lesson will enable you to assess children's personality traits. For example, is the child

• Introverted and distant?
• Dominant and domineering?
• Independent or dependent?
• Confident or lacking in confidence?
• Sociable?
• Lacking in emotional support?

During this lesson you will learn about the various tree elements and their meanings:

• The importance of checking the proportions between the page and tree
• The symbolic meaning of tree sides
• The meaning of choosing to draw the roots as well
• What do are the meanings of different drawing styles of trunks?
• What can we learn from the way the treetop is drawn?
• The emotional meaning of branches, leaves and fruits
• What's the big secret behind trunk-to-treetop ratio?

Understanding these aspects in children's drawings will serve you as a powerful tool for discovering children's emotional world, the reasons for their behavior and the right path to their heart.
