Explain how peer interactions foster social skills.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Peer interactions foster social skills-sharing, helping, taking turns, and dealing with conflict (Wentzel & Ramani, 2016). Groups teach children how to lead and how to follow. Physical and cognitive skills develop through peer interactions. Peers also provide emotional support (Bukowski et al., 2011).By about two years of age, children imitate one another's play and engage in social games such as follow the leader (Bukowski et al., 2011). Also by this age, children show preferences for particular playmates-an early sign of friendship (Wentzel & Ramani, 2016). Friendship is characterized by shared positive experiences and feelings of attachment (Grusec & Sherman, 2011). Even early friendships can be fairly stable (Rubin et al., 2006).
