What you'll need

No special setup. Think about your child's typical behaviour over the past week — that's the data we're working with.

How it works

1~120s
Let's start with social behaviour. Think about the past week. Does your child involve other children in play — wait for a turn, invite someone to join, or follow what another child is doing? Does your child imitate adults — copying what you do, washing dishes, using a phone, sweeping? Does your child show sympathy when someone is sad or hurt — coming over, saying something, offering a hug? Does your child share things — toys, food, objects — sometimes spontaneously? Tell me your honest picture of each.
Watch for: Child involves others in play
2~90s
Three more social-emotional observations. First: can your child concentrate on one thing — a puzzle, a drawing, a game — without being distracted for 3-5 minutes? And when your child needs to switch from one activity to another, does they transition well, or is there always a big upset? Second: is your child mostly curious about new things, or more cautious? Does they ask about things they doesn't know? Third: in pretend play, does your child include dolls, stuffed animals, or other people as characters? Does they make toys 'talk' or act out roles? Tell me each.
Watch for: Child concentrates on one task for several minutes
3~90s
Final turn — daily independence. Think about dressing, toileting, and hygiene. Does your child help with dressing — pull up trousers, push an arm through a sleeve, pull off their own clothes? Any part of hand-washing and drying independently? Can your child tell you when they is hungry or thirsty? Does your child tell you before needing the toilet — any warning? And: does your child ask about familiar people when they're not present — 'Where is Daddy?' 'Is Grandma coming?' Tell me each.
Watch for: Child removes an item of clothing independently
