Social Children

Paper Summary:

This paper offers a brief survey of social child development over the years. It looks at how at each age a child needs to develop essential social skills in order to interact with fellow children. It looks at potential problems in social child development and the importance of age-appropriate stimulation for children.

From the Paper:

"Social skills develop gradually over time from the simple parallel play of two year olds to the playground games of elementary students, to social stratifications of high school. At all ages, however, the child must interpret the social milieu accurately and choose age-appropriate responses (Walker, 2002), and appropriate responses at one age will be inappropriate at another age."
