Time-out involves having the child sit quietly in a designated place for a specific time after he has misbehaved. Peer Relations Making and keeping friends is a difficult task for these children. A variety of behavioral excesses and deficits common to these children get in the way of friendships. They may talk too much, dominate activities, intrude in others games, or quit a game before it is done. They may be unable to pay attention to what another child is saying, not respond when someone else tries to initiate an activity, or exhibit inappropriate behavior.
Parents can help provide opportunities for their child to have positive interactions with peers.
