The skill is available only during the Child life stage and caps at Level 5. Social is the child equivalent of the adult Charm and Rhetoric skills. When a child maxes this skill and ages into a Teenager, they receive the Social Aptitude bonus, which automatically sets both Charm and Rhetoric to Level 5 out of 10.
