| Q: | How can I determine whether a parental concern actually constitutes a social or behavioral development problem? |
A: Be specific when asking questions about a child's development. The more specific the question, the more exact the response. For instance,
- Does your child…Smile in response to a smile from others?
Does your child…Engage in reciprocal, back-and-forth play?
Does your child…Have anything odd in his/her speech?
Does your child…Avoid or have limited pretend play?
