6 years and 11 mon

1. How well is your child adapting to social situations in the home and outside the home? Does your child have any behavior or emotional problems at this point? Why do you think these problems are occurring and what are you doing about them? Angel usually works cooperatively in groups, usually respects rights and property of others, and usually demonstrates appropriate peer social interaction.Angel has been having a little problems at home, due to my spouse and I arguing. We are really trying to work on not arguing in front of the girls.

2. Do you notice any improvements in cognitive and language skills since age 4? Give specific examples. Does your child have any special needs with regard to cognitive or language development at this point and what do you plan to do? Since age four Angel has been adding very large and hard words in her conversations. Angel is getting better at puzzle, and problem solving as well. When Angel was four she would get very frustrated when problem solving ,but now she attacks problems head on.

3. Which aspects of your child’s behavior and personality reflect continuities from earlier behavior (e.g., at ages 3-4 years) and which seem to be novel for this age level? Angel still likes meeting and trying new things. She still gets upset and frustrated when she doesn't understand assignments. Angels behavior has improved in restaurants greatly, as well as her conversational skills.

Good for Angel -- liking those new experiences! My son gets nervous with new things like going to swimming lessons or a new friends house and would like me to go with him. I encourage his independance by giving him a treat when he is brave and goes by himself.
