Disciplining and teaching our children is all part of being a parent. We change our tone of voice, we frown, we give an encouraging smile, or take a tense stance, depending on our child’s behavior.

But not everybody picks up on these common social cues and might need a little help. Trouble with social skills may not be obvious in children, especially during early development.
Not sure if your child needs professional social skills support? Here are some signs to look for.
