Drawing Analysis

Ryan @ 5 years 11 months

About a month ago, I got to know about this centre that offers complimentary kid’s drawing analysis. This complimentary service is part of an awareness programe to encourage the development and discovery of Arts therapy.

This totally slipped my mind until Chin Nee asked me about it. Glad she mentioned. I sent in both Ryan and Darren’s drawing just before the deadline 30 Mac.

Darren’s drawing

About a week later, I received the analysis from them. The analysis was done by a lady name Emay Teow.

Due to age restriction, Darren did not meet their min age requirement. He is too young to draw anything constructive thus his drawing was rejected.

With Ryan, his analysis came back pretty accurately. Below are the key points from the analysis of his drawing ie the child’s inner feelings at that point of time.

Soul status: In his mindset, life is always busy and systematics, lots of materialistic and pressure. Parents’ lifestyle shows him a good example

I find the analysis partially accurate. Part of me wanted to explore more but then again drawing is a very subjective piece of art. Analyzing a kid’s inner feeling based on a single drawing is a little abstract so I’ll take it with a pinch of salt. If you’re interested, you can find out more info by emailing knkidspirit@gmail.com. Free analysis has ended but no harm exploring what else they have to offer.

The Tooth Fairy

Ryan @ 5 years 11 months

A few days shy from being 6 years old, Ryan lose his 2nd tooth. He dropped his first milk tooth on the 12 December 2011. So he is pretty seasoned about what’s going to happen the second time round.

Ryan’s first and second milk teeth were extracted by the dentist. The first time we didn’t really get a choice. His permanent tooth was sprouting out so we brought him to the dentist as soon as we felt the bottom central incisor (left) was shaky enough to bid its farewell. Despite appearing a bit scared, the whole dentist experience was fast and uneventful for Ryan. He was a brave boy!

Come second time, he wanted the tooth removed the moment he felt the shake. I persuaded him to be patient so to minimize the pain.

About a week or so later, Ryan told me his tooth is ready. So after his Bao Bei class on the 9th April 2012, we walked into the dental clinic without appointment. It was spontaneous and fortunately there was no other patient at that time. The whole process from the moment we registered to payment took less than 15 minutes. There goes his second bottom central incisor (right). Another milestone! Good job boy.

Just before he doze off that night, suddenly he jumped out of his bed screaming for his fallen tooth. Why? Because he had forgotten to place the tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. Yes, Ryan believes in existence of Tooth Fairies because the first time his tooth dropped, the ‘tooth fairy’ gave him stickers.

This time round, he got this.. (Afterthought: Too generous! Pray he won’t be expecting more in the tooth fairy’s next visit)
