In this article, we will focus on our own experience with children headache drawing, which is based on Staftrom et al.´s (2002) low structured

administration and analysis of headache symptoms and behavioral changes. Apart from the presentation of this method, we will

briefly mention the broader context of the topic (the developement of drawing and the ability to perceive pain depending on cognitive

maturity in childhood) and the real pictures we have obtained. It can be seen as an instruction and an ecouragement to distribute this

inexpensive method, whith is popular wiht children.

Keywords: headache, childhood, drawings
