Our objective for children facing social challenges is to empower them to accurately interpret social cues and adapt their interactions accordingly. During play, if it seems like the dynamics could turn unfriendly, unfair, or unsafe, we prompt them with questions like “Why do I feel uncomfortable right now?”
This causes them to reflect on their behavior and the situation at hand. By encouraging them to pause and assess their actions, they can make informed choices to steer the play in a positive direction, and avert any potential negative outcomes.
If you have a child/teen/young adult with has difficulty making friends, contact us for a free trial at 978-764-2758 or schedule an intake https://calendly.com/simplysocialkids/let-s-connect
