Emotional and Social

Let's try it....

By 3 years, your child

Shows little interest in other children
Has extreme trouble separating from parents or caregivers
Has poor eye contact

By 4 years, your child

Clings or cries whenever parents leave
Ignores other children
Doesn't respond to people outside of the family
Lashes out when angry or upset
Resists dressing, sleeping, or using the toilet

By 5 years, your child

Doesn't show a wide range of emotions
Shows little interest in fantasy play or playing with other children

Social and emotional delays, which usually show up before school, may cause children to have problems interacting with adults or other children.
