Forgotten how to draw.

Alyson has been drawing for months, and she is really good at drawing birds. Yesterday, Yesterday, Daddy told me he realised Alyson seems to forget how to draw birds and the drawing is not as nice as before. To find out, I ask her to draw a bird on the whiteboard, and to my horror, it really look very different. I felt a sudden sadness and can't understand why. Is it because we have been stopping her from drawing birds and now she can't draw anymore. I try to let her see her old drawing, but her strokes are different and she seems distress when I keep asking her to refer to her old drawing. I do not wish her talent of creativity just vanish like that. This afternoon, I tried to encourage her to draw again. For the first time, I can see she feel incompetent in drawing and keep looking at me for assurance. To boost her confidence, I let her draw and paint freely. Finally, Alyson is able to draw a nice rooster on the easel board. From now on, I have to let her do her drawing freely, and encourage her even she does not draw well.
