Children see the world from a very different point of view than an adult. In a healthy child, usually drawing is just an expression of what they are feeling at that moment and there is no real psychological mystery behind it.

There are two thoughts regarding "hands" in the psychoanalysis of art in young children. Missing hands are a sign of the inability to perform tasks. She has no hands - she needs to be taken care of. The other thinking is "the child - artist' has taken her hands, he is making her dependent on him or others in the family.

I would suggest you ask him to, "Tell me about the picture." Without giving any clues as to what you are looking for. Depending on his age and the significance he puts on others who do have hands - are the other figures involved in activity - holding or moving something, is the mother the only one doing nothing or doing something with the impairment of having no hands?

Has the child-artist been through a life change recently, something that has made the mother less accessible to him? Is this a repeated subject of the child's drawings, or at other times does the mother have hands but someone else has none?

The process of analysis of the drawing of a child who was abused, would be the adult or person in a child's life who is causing him distress usually has large arms/hands compared to the rest of the body; or in the case of yelling, a large mouth in proportion to the head. The person with no hands, or no mouth was not able to save the child.

What could a child do for a Christmas gift?

One of the girls in my scout troop is doing a handmade Christmas this year. She is making her mom a beaded bracelet, her dad a box to put his coffee in, a poster for her brother, and drawing pictures and framing them in inexpensive frames (can be found for $2 or $3 at places like Wal-Mart and Dollar General) for her friends. It isn't anything expensive, but it is really cool to know a child was sitting there making something with their own hands, and thinking of you.
