Early learning
"There's something about early friendships -- when they work well, they help children learn how to
behave constructively in relationships,"Laurie Kramer in a University of Illinois
When early friendships are successful, young children get the chance to master sophisticated social and
emotion skills, even more than they do with their parents.
There was a very strong link between children who had positive interactions with a friend before the
sibling's birth and a later positive relationship with the sibling. This study shows that it's very important
to help children develop good friends, particularly in the preschool years
Accommodating (adj): willing to help and do things for other person =obliging

From birth, parents can nurture and help develop these social competencies (skills) by making eye
