Can a 3 year old draw people, mine's can?

Question

I have a three year daughter (just turn 3 in March), one day she ask me can she draw me I saud okay. I was expecting the little stick people but NO. She drew me with a head and body and started to add details. I was not ready for that. This there a place where I can get her IQ tested because she is not a normal 3 year old girl. She also does things that NO 3 years old can do or say at that age. How don't get me wrong the picture did not look let me but she added the glasses I was weraing, the clothes I had on, the tattoos, the earrings, you name.

She can write her name, numbers and ABC's. She know her birthday, address, and telephone. She also can tie her shoe, she can even crack an egg perfect.

Answer 1

Actually that is pretty amazing most 3 yr olds draw a circle for a head and draw straight lines out for arms and legs. She's drawing more like a 5 or 6 yr old. She may just be very talented in fine motor and perceptual skills, it's hard to say. IQ tests are not real reliable at this age but they do have them. Honestly I'd wait until she went to school, if she's advanced then the school will pay for the testing. If you don't want to wait and you want something with at least some authority behind it seek out psychological assessment centers in your area, you are looking for a LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST with experience in preschool intelligence testing to assess her. It won't be cheap. Also you might try local universities they often have assessment centers.

Kids are smarter than we all think. They have the same amount of gray matter in their brains as we do, it just needs to be shaped and formed. My 20 month old writes and holds a pencil like she's always done it. She says complete sentences and can climb anything. She's potty trained and doesn't wet the bed. However, her excuse is she has older siblings to keep up with. If you continue to show her how big the world is, she will be limitless. Try asking your Dr. about that. Where my kids go there is a Child development Dr. and he in the past has referred us to a place for testing.

Answer 3

Some can, some can't. I'm a preschool teacher for threes and over half of my class can draw people. The other half still just scribble or draw shapes. Those that can draw people are pretty detailed... I had one drawing anitomically correct people today!! lol

Answer 4

My daughter is 3 and she does the same exact thing. Very detailed and i didn't expect it either. I think at this age they start to pay attention to detail. And everything counts. I feel the same way about ny daughter. She does and figures stuff out that I didn't think a 3 year old could do without my help. It's quite funny to hear your 3 year old to say" no I got it Mommy"

Answer 5

Why do you want her I.Q.? You already know she's smart, so start giving her things to peak her interests.
My daughter could read and do math when she was 3.
She was put into a "Gifted " program in grade school which she loved until her peers started calling her "Egghead".
She quit going and started to loose her honor marks. She barely passed junior high.
I was worried so much and asked her why was she doing this when she was so intelligent. Her reply was she didn't want her friends to know how smart she was.
There was nothing I could do, she wanted to fit in.
In high school she grew up and decided her friends weren't as important as her education and passed with honors.
I asked her how could someone, who basically lost 3 years of junior high, get honors in high school. She laughed and said,"I guess more sunk in then I thought."
The point of this story is that no matter what you think your kids are, it's what they think where they fit in that counts.
My daughter has a Mensa I.Q level. She'd rather it just be like everyone else instead.

Answer 6

Yes, both my kids and now my grand kids have nose bleeds. The doctors say that it's because of dry air and their capillaries are closer to the surface than most others. So, even a slight bump will make their nose bleed. It's hard to deal with at times, but they do out grow it. It can be scary, but not life threatening, just make sure they get their vitamins so they don't get anemia. Hope things go well.

Hey,
If you want to learn how to draw realistic pencil portraits I strongly recommend this site http://pencilportraits.toptips.org

I have bought their course because I wanted to be able to draw realistic portraits and I felt that I did not have the skills to produce a beautiful realistic portrait.
This course has been a great help, although I still need loads of practice I feel that I have learned so much through following this course in techniques and observation. The lessons are so easy to follow especially with the aid of the process maps which show which steps to tackle next.

Answer 8

My daughter will be 3 in May and she can do it. She says all kinds of things. I told her to pick up are toys and she said "Mommy Why do I have to do everything." However I do not think that you should test her. I think she is too young and if she test above average she will always be expected to live up to that standard. That is a lot of pressure to put on a 3 year old. You should just work with her at home.

Answer 9

I would say that you have a budding genius on your hands! Try to encourage her by giving her drawing tools often. Who knows. She just might turn out to be a major artist. I used to love to draw as a child, but was not encouraged. Now I am a senior and I still love to draw (I just don't do it as well as I used to).
