Even though preschoolers find fun and friendships with their peers, their most important relationships are with their parents and other family members. Therefore, it is important for adults to continuously help their preschoolers work out interpersonal difficulties in a positive way.
Parents teach children how to behave correctly because they love their children and the children will listen as a parent explains correct behavior because they care about the parent and their opinion of themselves. This effective socialization is therefore based on a high-quality attachment relationship.
As parents provide their children with open-ended toddler learning toys opportunities to learn proper social skills will automatically happen. Toys that have no “rules”, such as playsets, allow children to make up their own situations and parents can gently guide their play as needed.
Many of parents bonding experiences with their children can happen during open-ended playtime. Teaching opportunities easily open up while children are playing with themed play sets such as a farm, zoo or safari toys for toddlers.
