🌟 Friendship 101: A Developmental Journey 🌟
Understanding friendship is a developmental process that unfolds over time. Just like any other skill, it takes children time to grasp the complexities of building and maintaining relationships. As parents, it’s important to recognise that acquiring these friendship skills is a gradual journey filled with learning opportunities.
At a young age, children may enjoy the company of others but might not yet engage in deep social interactions. This is completely normal!
In the coming weeks, we’ll explore various aspects of friendship and how they are closely linked to play skills. From parallel play to shared interests, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation, we aim to provide insights into the developmental nature of friendships.
Stay tuned as we delve deeper into each of these aspects and discover how we can support our children’s social growth through playdates and open communication.
We hope you find these insights helpful! 💖
