Communication of a child with peers: development, features, formation
In the period of 3-7 years, the formation of the child as a person begins. Each step has its own value, and parents should supervise the baby and, if necessary, help him.
Communication of the child with peers
In addition to communicating with parents and grandparents, contacts with peers become important for the child. They contribute to the development of the baby’s personality.
Having friends is important in shaping a child’s personality.
Distinctive features of child behavior:
- emotional saturation;
- non-standard and unregulated communication;
- the predominance of initiative in the relationship.
These traits appear between 3 and 7 years of age.
The main difference when communicating with children is emotionality. The other child becomes more interesting for the child to communicate and play. They can laugh together, quarrel, scream and quickly reconcile.
They are more relaxed with their peers: they shout, squeal, tease, come up with incredible stories. All this quickly tires adults, but for the same kid, this behavior is natural. It helps him to liberate himself and show his individuality.
When communicating with a peer, the baby prefers to talk rather than listen. It is more important for the baby to express himself and be the first to take action. The inability to listen to another generates many conflict situations.
Features of development in 2-4 years
During this time, it is important for children that others participate in his games and pranks. They attract the attention of their peers in all ways. They see themselves in them. Often, some kind of toy becomes desirable for both and causes quarrels and resentments.
The task of an adult is to help a child see the same person in a peer. Note that the baby, like other children, jumps, dances and spins. The child himself is looking for what he is like his friend.
Child development at the age of 4-5 years
During this period, the child deliberately chooses peers for communication, and not parents and relatives. Children are no longer playing alongside, but together. It is important for them to reach agreement in the game. This is how cooperation is nurtured.
If the child cannot establish contact with other peers, then this indicates problems in social development.
The child closely observes his surroundings. He shows jealousy for the success of another, resentment and envy. The child hides his mistakes from others and rejoices if the failure overtook his peer. Children often ask adults about the success of others and try to show that they are better. Through this comparison, they assess themselves and are established in society.
Personality formation at 6-7 years old
Children in this period of growing up share their dreams, plans, travel and preferences. They are able to empathize and help in difficult situations. They often defend their companion in front of adults. Jealousy and rivalry are less common. The first long-term friendships arise.
Children see their peers as equal partners. Parents need to show how to care for others and how to help their friend.
Each age has its own characteristic features of the formation of a child as a person. And the task of parents is to help overcome difficulties along the way.
