The people children drew are growing up with them

Children like drawing.

The characteristics of the people they drew change as they are growing up. In toddler’s pictures all people look like toddlers: very big head and very small body. Adults’ clothes and hair styles are different from children’s in their pictures, but the proportion of their bodies is as same as children’s. As children grow, this proportion is changing---the head is becoming relatively smaller and the body is becoming bigger. Those changes also happen in the pictures they draw. When they are becoming teenagers, this change is dramatically. The people in their pictures are maturating, too. It is surprising to see this change. Raising a child is a heavy but interesting job.



I took these photos in our classroom. There are many children’s pictures.
The first one is drawn by a younger child; the second one is drawn by a older child. The rations of bodies are different according to the drawers’ ages.

Today in our English class we talked about marriage and divorce. Our teacher, who is from the USA, said there are lots of people who divorced after their children become adults. The couples don’t love each other for a long time but it is too difficult to solve the custody dispute. After all their children become adults, they have no reasons to live together anymore. It sounds like a great sacrifice.

On my way home I bought some fast food in KFC---hamburgers, fried chicken wings and mashed potatoes. So I don’t need to cook tonight!!!
