[QUOTE="daralex, post: 122766, member: 4467"] Shari, so sorry you're dealing with this at the moment! i have another persepective - I am an artist - or so my BA says! Have you looked into "play therapy"? Hard to find a good one in any area but they actually use drawings, play, creative expression to analyze kids feelings. It may be of use to have an "expert" take a look especially at difficult child's age. It could be nothing, but I assume from the post it concerned you greatly. I am no expert in this area, but what you describe could be one of two things - either he is acting out something that scared him or he is truly having difficulties in other areas. From an artists perspective his drawings and behavior are out of the norm. My understanding is that use of black crayons and "blood" are atypical and need some looking into. A play therapist is taught to look for these signs and can advise better. Save the drawing - bring it to someone who is qualified to analyze. Yes, I know another "expense'! But better to find out now rather than later. My heart goes outto you - I'm pulling my hair out with just the one i have never mind several at once. Keep strong - keep us posted ! -dara [/QUOTE]
