One of the activities related to your children’s visual-spatial intelligence is drawing. Yet, never think that those kids having such intelligence can draw just like adults do. Stimulation from their parents is important to build their drawing quality.

Here are some stages of normal visual-spatial intelligence:

• 12 – 18 months

At this phase of age, kids can start drawing. It is seen by marks they make on plain papers. Those marks can simply be lines or curves. This won’t only help developing their visual-spatial intelligence, but also grow their motorics.

• 2 years

Don’t expect that they can hold pencils or crayons correctly. At this phase, kids still need more adaptation with those drawing tools. Now lines and curves they make might form something.

• 3-4 years

At this stage, kids will start draw things they see. They might try to draw elephants, cats, horse. Even though the result doesn’t look like any of those animals, never stop encouraging them to keep drawing. They will make it better later on.

• 4-5 years

Now, their drawing will look better. They can at least draw a circle, a triangle or a rectangle almost perfectly.

Those are signs for kids with normal visual-spatial intelligence. For some kids with extraordinary visual-spatial intelligence, their drawing ability, usually, is faster than the normal ones. For example, they can draw rectangles, triangles and circles at the age of three or even less.

What these kids need of you—whether they have excellent visual-spatial intelligence or standard—, as parents, is to be aware of their talent and interest so that they can develop any skill perfectly. At any stage of life, supports from parents are the best things a child can get.

An excellent drawing ability might also be found in kids with autism problems. They develop this skill for they might have difficulties in developing other skills.
