Not a big issue but something I'm curious about with DD aged 3.6.
When she's given a colouring sheet at home or at a restaurant she always wants me or whoever she's with to colour it for her. Same with drawing pictures. She can draw Mr Men style people but is reluctant and wants me to do it.
I get the impression she thinks her efforts are a bit rubbish and is embarrassed of them. Yet she's never had anything but encouragement.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anything more I can do to encourage her and build up her confidence?
