Chcece013 Observation on Mary

Post by Harjjbanwait » Thu Oct 13, 2016 10:33 pm

Hi,
I m new on this site.
I m stuck on this question. Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
Read the information about Mary and in 150 words suggest the types of interactions from which Mary might benefit.

Mary has just turned five.

Observations (over time):

Mary refuses to share with other children. She often ends up playing alone.

Parent comments:

Mary is an only child and seems to find it hard to relate to other children. She does not play with other children on an interactive level.

My answer is: Children with some disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, might require encouragement and practice to learn how to play with others. If your child naturally likes to play alone, introduce social play incrementally, according to the Raising Children Network. Simple games, like patty-cake, can introduce basic social interaction. Play dates can help your child establish friendships with others, and you can model how to ask to join in a game.
