would a child scribble all over a doll's face with ink as a reflection of lost innocence?

It is very odd for a small child to draw on things that are not paper or coloring books.

I dunno. I remember distinctly scribbling over a dolly when I was very young, and my major motivation was to see what would happen when I applied the pen to the doll body. My daughter has carried on the family tradition of doll scribbling, and I really don't think it's about lost innocence. I think it has to do with low impulse control, and an artistic urge.

Provide paper and pencils, and tell her, we draw on paper, not on dollies.

If you are worried, though, talk to the child's parents; if there are other warning signs, you may want to talk to another adult who knows the child and the parents.

No, but a child might scribble all over a doll's face with ink as a reflection of boredom.

if the child is happy any other time and just walked in the room and saw some crayons and a doll and started drawing on the dolls face i think they are what some would call bored or mischievous

I have raised eight children. One of my daughters drew on toys, including her dolls, walls, window, paper etc. She is a school teacher who has a daughter that does the same thing. I did not matter where I put the pens, markers, and crayons she always found them.

No. Children are no prone to the same behaviors you or I who are older do. If a child is being molested "innocently" they will TELL, simply by the fact that it is something that is out of the ordinary or hurts them.

Rather than a sign of lost innocence, i would regard it as a sign of anger or disturbance.

I think that would reflect more of a agitation, something making them nervous, angry, or bored. I think she may be stressed or having anxiety about something.

depends if the pen broke.if it did, the was angry, if it didnt, the child was bored or wanted to experiment
