social development

 What is social development 

Social development is the sub area of developmental psychology that concerns the description of children’s development of relationships with others, their understanding of the meaning of their relationships with others, and their understanding of others’ behaviors, attitudes, and intentions.


When your child has stronger social skills, they are better able to talk and communicate with those around them.

what are the benefits of social development in early childhood?

Social development can impact a child’s experiences and abilities in a wide range of areas that extend far beyond just making friends. There are many benefits to focusing on social development in early childhood, including:

Improving language skills

One of the most important aspects of developing relationships with your peers and building friendships is the ability to communicate. That is why social development also plays a major role in the improvement of language skills.

Boost their self-esteem

Those improved communication skills will result in higher self-esteem. Not being able to engage with others and develop friendships can be incredibly frustrating and upsetting for children, lowering their confidence.

When your child is able to develop a circle of friends, they will feel happier and more confident in themselves. It will also help them to begin to cultivate their own unique personality and individuality.
