Strength of Expression
Ask yourself: How strongly does my child express feelings, wants and opinions?
Do I have to guess what he is thinking? Does she sometimes get overlooked or bossed around by other people? Does he like to tell others what to do and how to do it? What happens when she doesn't like something or someone? What happens when he wants something?
A child who is Very Expressive:
- May yell or cry over small things.
- May have trouble taking turns or letting other children choose games.
- Can be good at talking you into things.
A child who is Less Expressive:
- Might be seen as an underachiever.
- May get pushed around by other children.
- May be calmer and more cooperative
