Effective communication goes beyond knowing how to speak or write in a given language. It involves understanding the context and unwritten rules of social communication. Some children struggle with these rules, which can negatively impact their ability to communicate effectively in different situations. This may result in your child having limited friendships and demonstrating difficulties connecting with others, which can be upsetting for both you and your child.
