Question:

My 8.5 yr old daughter draws pictures of people with one eye, half a small mouth and very few other features?

She's extremely intelligent (gifted children class) and happy and popular, she can copy a picture of anything and it looks perfect, but when she draws freely always only one eye. She says it looks better that way, any ideas what's going on in her head?
Thanks!

Often gifted children might have a harder time "fitting in". There might not be anything wrong; but I would go to her guidance counselor at school and just tell them about your concern. She might have a psychological issue with people. Possibly a trust issue. I know that I have problems trusting people because I can tell often when people are lieing to me. It is a gift. The half picture might portray her intelligence level on half truths that people tell.
