Children and Friends

In devoloping friendship with other children kids show different attitudes. Some mingle with other children easily and others show shy to make friends. These are not worrying factors. Parents need not worry if their children are fast in developing friends or slow in doing so.

Usually children will like kids of their own age for making friendship. Their first friends would be their cousins and neighborhood children. Just after they start going out they make friendship with other children. Most of the times they make friendship to play. Because playing will be the only activity they will have till they become 10 or 11 years old.

Often children  pickup quarrels with other children for silly reasons. If the other child grabs its doll the latter gets angry and picks up quarrel. Some times they beat up other children or receive the same treatment. However they forget these incidents in few hours and become friends again. Parents should not interfere in these affairs and should not support either of them.

Children become close to other children if they have similar habits. If two children have same tastes they become more friendly and keep together for hours. They exchange information between them and share dolls cloths. If the one of the pair did not meet the other for few days they would get upset. Childhood friendships often lost for long.

The other area where children make new friends is school. Usually classmates become friends. Children pickup their friends from their own gender. Girl picks up other girls and boy picks up another boy for friendship.

Few children did not make friends and stay alone. This is a some what  worrying thing. Parents have to care of such children to make such types of children to mingle with other children and to make friendship with others. This type of attitude is an indication of psychological problem. In such times parents should take the help of psychiatrist or psychologist to correct the problem.

Needless to say that friendship is more important in life. It helps in developing skills, developing the expression off feelings, getting information and socialising.

Some times few children show unnecessary anger and beat up their friends. In such conditions parents and teachers should counsel such children so that the kids reduce their anger and become soft child. If children continues to get angry even for small things that will have a bad impact on their future if it is not corrected in early age.

Parents should also develop friendship with their children and with the latters friends. Parents should welcome the friends of their kids and encourage to visit often. This gives pride to the children and they will have easy access with their friends.
