Quiz: Is Your Child Well-Adjusted?

Bonnie Schiedel

Every parent wonders, “Is my kid doing okay?” Do you worry about how your child interacts with adults and other kids? Does he seem easily frustrated or unnecessarily anxious? These issues are important, both for today and the future.

Take this quiz, inspired by guidelines from Mental Health America, to test your child’s social skills and behaviors, also known as “social competence”. Why? Experts say that social competence is the single best predictor of healthy adulthood. Finding out where your child is at will help you boost her self-esteem and ability to get along with others.

Pick the answer that sounds most like how your child would react.

Your child is missing one of his favorite running shoes — again. He:

Rummages under his bed, checks the hall closet and finally grabs another pair, saying he'll look again later so he won't be late for school.

Dissolves into tears and worries that everyone will laugh at him because he's going to have to wear the plain running shoes that don't have Spiderman on them.

Angrily accuses his sister of hiding the shoe and kicks the wall.
