"Mommy hates me 'cause I'm Bad: The Early School-aged Child, Ages 2 to 7" G. Klorer

Again, this reading was a bit difficult because of the traumatic situation these young children experienced. But I did find this reading very informative because the author related the children's situations to their drawings and the stages of artistic development and psychological/behavioral(?) development. I am amazed as how much is retained in the memories of these young children. Also interesting is that a main focus is helping the children recognize an discriminate between feelings. That sometimes they can't distinguish the difference between anger and sad. I feel that art making is a good way to work on these mental challenges. Play therapy is introduced in this reading and it is just as fascinating as art therapy.
Wish the images wee more visble.
