Watch the child when he is alone, with different
peers and adults, and in many structured and unstructured activities.
What times, environments, activities and conditions work for
the child? When, where and with whom does the child struggle
to get along, and when does he do well? What has happened right
before a problem? What happens afterwards? You may wish to keep
a journal or checklist about specific behaviors and conditions.

as his mother tries to leave. |
