Early Head Start: Relationships with Other Children

Relationships with other children also may develop in the first three years of life. These relationships provide opportunities to practice skills learned from adults. These relationships also foster problem solving skills as young children navigate the difficulties and joys of interacting with another child who has different wants and ideas. As children move into the preschool years, they become increasingly interested in forming relationships with peers. Critical social skills, such as compromise, cooperation, and sharing, are developing at this time. Young children need support from adults as they learn and practice these skills.
