For social and emotional development milestones a 6 year old should be able to make friends but may have trouble resolving disputes they may have so they may need a little help.

They like to have structure and a routine in order for them to feel safe and when behaviour is ‘over the top’, they need limits to be set so they know what is right and wrong and what they should be doing and what they should not be doing.
