Live Interactive Chat

April 29, 2002
Supporting Children's Social Development: Strategies for Parents and Caregivers
Dr. Lilian Katz
University of Illinois

In this Chat, Lilian Katz discusses ways of defining social competence in the early years, provides an overview of what the research indicates must be achieved in the early years, and indicates ways that adults—parents and teachers—can support and strengthen this important aspect of young children's development. Questions answered in this Chat include, “What social skills should a child have by the age of 2 or 3 or 4?” “What can be done to encourage a shy and withdrawn child to interact with others?” “As a teacher/parent/caregiver, how do I know if a child's behavior requires some additional professional intervention? Are there some "red flags" of behavior for children this age?” “What are some things a teacher, caregiver, or parent can do to promote healthy social development?”
