[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP with the long response about the Goodenough-Harris test and I felt compelled to come back. Based on the OP's wording, it's also at least possible that she is overly critical and anxious about this. She DOES say "she cannot draw anything that I can recognize"-- so not just some things, but "anything." That said, my DD, who has an affinity for art and excellent fine motor skills, has drawings from age 5 that, if scored on a G-H scale, would put her "mental age" at up to 10 (score of 20+). And yet, I STILL sometimes have to ask her to "tell me about your drawing"-- i.e., I have no idea what an object is supposed to be lol. If the OP's kid does, in fact, draw some semi-recognizable things, I am concerned that the OP herself is transferring her assessment of her daughter's "lack of skill" (by perhaps saying things like "I have no idea what that is") and making her DD feel as if she is not as good at drawing as others. Maybe. [/quote]
