This book shows parents and teachers how to recognize a child's inner feelings from age two and a half on up. It becomes possible to spot normal growing-up problems before they become so serious that they damage the child's education, personality or growth. Mrs. Solomon, a former consultant to the Palm Beach County Public Schools and the Juvenile Court, and lecturer on children's graphological identities for over 30 years, is the first trained graphologist to successfully analyze such a young age group. Her work is based on the fact that the words and drawings of a child depend upon the coordination of mind and body and that any interference will affect the not-so-simple act of writing and drawing. Included in this book are hundreds of writings and drawing samples by every type child, advanced or slow, of boys and girls from every background. She analyzes each specimen for what it reveals about the child, then provides practical suggestions and aids for dealing with specific problems. Mrs. Solomon shows the reader, step by step, what to look for and how to evaluate the findings. She explains the basis of her handwriting analysis for young children so fully and clearly that the reader learns how to analyze his or her own children's handwriting and drawings. In chapters that lead the reader from basic dynamics of child behavior to acquired attitudes and habits, Mrs. Solomon investigates temperament, passivity, causes of non-learning, eye reversals, hearing problems, motor problems, concentration, memory, resistance to authority, discipline, unnatural fear of failure, changes, growing older, being alone, unhealthy guilt or anger, undisclosed desires and temptations, what a child thinks of his parents, of himself/herself and much more.
