Child Social Relationships
Child social relationships refer to the interactions, connections and emotions children share with their peers, family and other people around them. They are an important part of children’s development, as having positive relationships with others can help children develop social skills, learn about cultural norms and values, as well as build self-esteem. Poor social relationships can have a detrimental effect on children’s social and emotional wellbeing. Therefore, it is important for parents, caretakers, teachers, and other adults to provide nurturing, supportive and consistent environments in which children can develop strong, healthy social relationships with others.
