The answer

The psychological analysis of children's drawings is a well-known tool in psychology and has no connection to claims of knowing the unseen or to divination. Its results are probabilistic and closer to prediction, similar to the science of physiognomy. It is permissible to use it if done by a specialist and if it is not associated with any Shariah-prohibited elements. There is no objection to earning a living from it.
