Social

Social development in children is a necessary aspect of their upbringing, but sadly, it isn’t easy.  While growing up, children start to show explicit new emotions which include jealousy, affection, delight, and shame. They have issues in sharing toys, as they are usually possessive and insecure at this stage. They also cannot resolve differences at this stage and end up crying, hitting or biting other children. Attempts to introduce rules and discipline are met with resistance, and results are short- lived. Emotions are usually high and fizzle out soon. Routines are very critical for instilling social mannerisms in children. Children some may enjoy playing alone, and not with other children; while, at other times, they like being with other children. They should be taught to deal with both the situations. They need self-awareness about their own boundaries and of others.
