The current literature suggests that parental attitudes are one factor that affects the acquisition and quality of drawing in young children. Yet, the types and effectiveness of the strategies used by parents to elicit children's drawing behavior have remained relatively overlooked by researchers, especially among preschool-aged samples. Our study is the first to directly quantify parental support for drawing in early childhood (3-7 years of age), rendering our findings relevant to theoretical, methodological, and educational discussions surrounding the ontogeny of drawing. Drawing, or the ability to purposefully create discernible marks on a surface (de Groot et al., 2023, Martinet et al., 2021), is one of the most unique human behaviors. Like language, drawing is a mode of communication and a cognitive tool that from an early age allows us to interact with others, to think, to learn, to remember, and to solve problems (Brooks, 2009, Callaghan, 2020, Fan, 2015). But unlike language, drawing typically incorporates extrasomatic materials, i.e., a support and a drawing implement, like paper and pencil. For that reason, in addition to cognitive capacities, drawing recruits specific technical and motor. Need Assignment Help?
