My dd1 seems to find it difficult to engage socially with others, it's not that she doesn't want to but she really doesn't know how to - she squawks rather than talks, becomes more or less non-verbal and over excited when she is trying to engage with an unfamiliar child (adults too but to a lesser extent, probably because she isn't as interested in them).
i am not enormously worried about this - she's quite young, in other regards i have no worries about her development, and i know that social engagement doesn't come naturally to many people (including me). but i would very much like to help her learn to engage with others as she wishes to, and i'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations of books on developing children's social skills which might help?
