1. This drawing is from a kindergarten student. From the look of the drawing, we could see that he is a direct, and might also be emotional at times. Very daring on the use of colour.

2. A psychologist pointed out that colour reflects our thoughts, feeling, experience, and the things in our heart. In most cases, red represents warmth, energetic, striking, and active. After looking at this drawing, however, the author was very concerned about this child's daily emotion. From the drawing itself, we could feel that the child is having problems on his emotion, although, we could still find warmth in it. But in reality, being unable to articulate himself well, his passion turned into temper while the others aren't able to understand him. Sometimes, he couldn't even tell why he's feeling bad.

3. Red is the main colour of this drawing. Nevertheless, blue, green, and yellow shared parts of it too. All the colours represent different messages and voices inside him that speak for themselves at the same time. The author then pulled him from the corner of the room, and asked him about the person in the drawing. He said "The crying green head is me, and the other person is an enemy! He's the bad person that threw rocks on me. I'm so sad." The author was shocked to hear this, and asked about it from the teacher. The teacher said that "This child has a little depression. He could easily be unhappy and would sit silently at a corner sometime. He could be very active in helping his friends out, but could also be sad and down the next moment. His closer friends told me that he'd start a fight or just ignore someone for something they might have said."

4. When there's some obstacles on expressing emotion, it's often to have a little depressed. This is often to be seen in boysm and if it wasn't handled well, the child might grow up to have mood swings very often. If children grew up this way, their learning and life would very much be affected by this kind of mood swing. Mostly, these cases would turn out better after the children reach the stage of adolescence. This has something to do with the development of the nervous system.

5. If we could observe and value the message in our children's drawings, and refer back to their daily lives, it helps us to make drastic measurements to help them out with their problems when we detect them. A little sports, drawing, singing, or dancing could help make the matter better. Let them draw out what they couldn't or unable to say! And we could discover more about them.
