Imagine that your child shows you a drawing that you don't understand at all. How do you react?

  • I smile and ask what it means – let him explain it to me.
  • I'll say something neutral; I don't want to offend him.
  • I'm trying to find the hidden meaning – what is it trying to tell me?
  • I will tell him that it is beautiful, even though inside I feel uncertainty.
  • I will start to wonder if everything is alright with him – that drawing disturbs me.
