"Can you help me draw a house? I don't know how, and I want to make a house for my mom and my sister, but I want it look beautiful. I want a beautiful house and I can't make a beautiful house. Can you show me how?" We sat together at the table and I started drawing a house with her, and so I built the house on the right. The preschooler insisted she did not know how to draw and that she wanted a really nice-looking house like mine and wished to copy some of its features. She began to draw after I told her she could draw her own house however she wanted and then give it to her family. She drew the house on the right.
