Children's Artwork and Nonverbal Communication.

Holmes, Robyn M.

Child Study Journal, v22 n3 p157-66 1992

Explored the use of 5 and 11 year olds' artwork to investigate their knowledge of nonverbal communication and social distance. Children's drawings indicated that children recognize that strangers should be kept at a greater distance than friends; and children's age influenced their knowledge of nonverbal communication and social distance.
