A child's social competence depends upon a number of factors including the child's social skills, social awareness, and self-confidence. Social competence is the broader term used to describe a child's social effectiveness. It defines a child's ability to establish and maintain high quality and mutually satisfying relationships and to avoid negative treatment or victimization from others. In addition to social skills and emotional intelligence, factors such as the child's self- confidence or social anxiety can affect his or her social competence.
