These cute graffiti wall paintings are all from Yu Tiantian, an 8-year-old small owner in the community, and her friends.

Daughter scribbles from the age of 2, Mom: Play casually!
Sweetie became obsessed with painting at the age of two, and her "works" were on the walls of the tables at home. Her mother, Ms. Yang, did not stop her, and would buy her a picture book and colored pencils to paint with her.
"I saw in the books that when a child reaches the age of two, she will have such a period and like to draw everywhere, so I didn't stop her and let her release her nature at will." Ms. Yang said that she can feel that she wants to express herself from her daughter's paintings, Sweet also has a lot of wild ideas, will paint the sun green, has big eyes and mouth, Ms. Yang will also give affirmation, "I will not tell her that the sun must be red or yellow, she feels that what is what is, will not deny her painting." ”
Tiantian did not go to kindergarten because of her poor health, and she was eager to have teachers and friends, so Ms. Yang sent her to learn to draw, and Tiantian was the youngest in the class, but her painting was not worse than other children.
In November last year, Tiantian looked at the patterns on the walls of her home that she had scribbled on as a child, and said to her mother: "These are too ugly, I want to paint something more beautiful, is it good to cover up the previous paintings?" Ms. Yang was very supportive, and also helped her to buy materials, Tiantian painted a graffiti of "Animal World" on the wall, Ms. Yang shared her daughter's work with the owner group, did not expect to get the affirmation of many owners, and expressed that she wanted Tiantian to paint on the wall of the building.
After the owners communicated with the property, Tiantian painted beautiful graffiti on the wall of the underground garage, and also invited the children in the community to color it together, and under the creation and command of Tiantian, the wall of the underground garage of the community was renewed.
Children love to graffiti, how do parents do it?
Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Changsha, shared his experience, saying that when his daughter was one or two years old, he also liked to doodle around, so he specially made a wall for her daughter to paint, telling her that this wall can be painted casually. But the daughter will still draw to other places from time to time, then the old man in the family will stop and blame, Mr. Zhang will find a pen and paper for his daughter, let her draw on the paper and send it to grandma, and the grandmother will not be willing to blame the child when she receives the granddaughter's painting.
Ms. Chen also has a set of ways to guide the child, every time the child scribbles on the sheet on the wall, Ms. Chen will say to the child: "Your mother who painted on the wall can't see clearly, can you please look at it again when you draw on the paper?" So now most of the children will draw on paper. Ms. He bought a chalk easel early and did not give the child the opportunity to scribble.
Mr. Xiang's graffiti behavior on the child is completely released, indicating how the child wants to draw and how to draw, he said: "Only those who paint at home have the feeling of home!" ”
How to guide children's graffiti? The experts have something to say
On April 13, Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter contacted Chen Mingming, a consultant at the director of the Happiness Spring Psychological Counseling Center, who said that children will have a graffiti period in their early childhood, and it is the nature of children to like to draw everywhere at this stage.
Chen Mingming proposed that there are three reasons for such a child's behavior, first of all, the child's graffiti everywhere represents that it is carefree and free in this period, and secondly, the child's painting is to show its love for various things in the world, such as painting the sun, painting stars, flowers and plants, all representing the child's love for these things. The last and most important reason is that graffiti is the catharsis of children's emotions, through graffiti to express emotions.
How should children in the graffiti period be guided? Chen Mingming put forward his own suggestion: First of all, parents should not interfere and block, there should be a reasonable guidance, such as buying a drawing board brush for the child to provide conditions for the child. At the same time, it is also necessary to educate children where they cannot draw, such as not painting in public places and not destroying public facilities. Let the child draw to the fullest to release emotions to help the child's emotional stability.
