Summary
We all have friends; many of us are still friends with people from our childhoods. Friendships are an important resource for navigating the social world. As children enter early childcare centers and gain more independence, they will extend the time they spend with caregivers and siblings to time spent with peers. Through social interactions with peers, children develop friendships, directly impacting their social, emotional, and cognitive development. Friendships provide important opportunities for playing, practicing self-regulation, and developing empathy. How children generate and maintain friendships changes as they age. Childhood friendships represent the beginnings of intimacy and social appreciation. Understanding how children make friends, even imaginary friends, will assist Early Childhood Educators in fostering and encouraging healthy friendships.
