Question

Among children who spend much time playing alone, what factors distinguish those who are likely to have adjustment difficulties from those who are well-adjusted and socially skilled?

- Playing alone, making repetitive movements that are not part of the functional playing.

- playing alone, next to peers without interaction.

- wondering around without an aim.
