House:

Her house was described as the faint line that encompasses the primary figures in this drawing.

Tree:

She has chosen not to draw a tree but has made an attempt at a tree which is more in the form of a flower. See my book for explanations on the tree.

Family:

The child has a primary focus on the people in her life. She has drawn Dad in blue with a large smile and Mum in pink with earrings and attention to detail. She was ambivalent as to whether she identified as the figure coloured in yellow crayons or the pink figure she first pointed out as Mum.

Story:

At times an only child can develop a strong attachment to the father figure and inherently desires to emulate or usurp her Mother’s position in the family. This is natural and can be tempered with love and healthy boundaries.

This beautiful little girl has a great sense of humour and this is so tangible in her drawing.

I was tickled pink with this drawing and how clever the symbols are in Milena’s depictions of people and animals.

We get it because it is so clear and simple. The dog’s shape and eyes are a perfect example of a highly intelligent representation that is easy to interpret.

Since she drew herself hiding behind Dad and had relayed to Mum that she could perhaps be the figure coloured in pink, and Mum be the figure in yellow, it was evident that working on her identity and increasing her confidence and self-esteem, would add a valuable dimension to her life and result in greater success for her future.
