Describe peer relationships during the middle childhood years
What will be an ideal response?
Peers take on increasing importance in middle childhood. They assist in the
socialization of children, lending to the enhanced development of important social skills
such as sharing, cooperation, and coping strategies. Later-born children tend to be
more popular than first-born children. This may be due to the development of social
interaction skills resulting from interactions with one's siblings. Peer rejection is related
to behavioral and learning problems.
