Elementary School: How To Tell If Your Child Is Having Trouble With Interpersonal Skills

How can I tell if my elementary school-age child is having trouble with interpersonal skills?

Children struggling with interpersonal skills are generally having trouble getting along with their friends and their peers, and also making new friends. These children may be reluctant to talk about their day with us; they may not share experiences about what they did with the other kids. Elementary school children love to tell us about what other kids did, about what they did with those kids and what was funny. If we aren't hearing that type of report from our child's school day, we may be a bit concerned over our child's interpersonal relationships.
