Interaction Skills: We observe how your child interacts with others, including their ability to share, take turns, and engage in group activities.
Emotional Expression: We look at how your child expresses their emotions and responds to social cues, helping to identify any difficulties in emotional regulation or social engagement.
Self-Control: We assess your child’s ability to manage their emotions and behaviors in different situations, including their response to frustration or unexpected changes.
