Logan's Kinetic Family Drawing. For my non-psychologist readers, the Kinetic Family Drawing was developed a time when projective tests were frequently administered as a way of assessing a person's psychological functioning. In this type of a drawing, a child is asked to draw a picture of his family (including himself) "doing something".
Logan drew our family outside "looking at the weather and butterflies".
My most basic interpretation of this shows a fundamental problem in our family dynamic: Logan thinks he's a) our peer, and b) superior to Gavin and Keegan. It probably doesn't take thousands of dollars in graduate loans (like I have) to see this. Mom and Dad are close together (a good thing), but Logan is just to the side of us, on our level, and the younger boys are underneath. Clearly we have some more teaching to do!
