When children act, we observe, because their actions can reveal what their words cannot. This was the case with Emma, a four-year-old girl obsessed with butterflies and rainbows, who suddenly started making dark drawings. The reason behind those pieces of “art” changed her mom’s life forever.
Emma has always been a bubbly little girl. Her personality shone through everything she did, especially her beautiful drawings. Although being just four, Emma expressed herself through her art, and everyone praised her for her talent.
Her mom believed it was just a phase and didn’t pay much attention, until Mrs. Silverton, Emma’s kindergarten teacher, called and and told her they needed to talk.
Emma’s mom was shocked to see her daughter’s recent drawings. Instead of the usual butterflies, gardens full of flowers, and her happy family, she drew dark things. One of the dark drawings showed a house engulfed in flames.
