Friendship

Good friends provide us with support from childhood through adulthood. It takes practice to learn how to be a good friend ― practice at being kind, supportive, trustworthy and a good listener. These are skills kids can begin to learn at an early age. When two-year-olds engage with peers it typically involves playing side-by-side with similar toys. But even at this young age, they can begin to understand the concept of taking turns with toys or playground equipment and responding to the feelings of others. These are building blocks for future friendships!
