Many kids struggle with making and keeping friends. As a parent it can be challenging to support your children when they have difficulties with social skills. On this episode I will talk about some developmental milestones to watch for that will let you know if your child is on target with their social skills. I'll also tell you how I assess if a child is having difficulties with social skills. And most importantly, I'll tell you how to determine where your child is struggling and give you some concrete strategies for how you can help them.
It's challenging for parents to see their child struggle with friendships and making healthy connections with peers. If your child is having difficulties getting along with others than this episode is for you!
And if your child is good at making and keeping friends it could still be helpful for you to understand the common social mistakes kids make.
