Social Skills

 
Observation
Yesterday  I was  at an event . My friend had her 3 year old son with her also . He walked up to a little boy and offered his ball wanting to play with the child and the child walked away. He went to another child and it was the same  response. The adults that were with the children did not encourage either child to interact.

This is a skill that is needed before children enter kindergarten. The ability to interact with peers out  in a multicultural setting.
 This shows that the adults themselves are lacking that skill. It is a challenge to guide your infant/toddler  in gaining  these important skills  when the caregiver has a deficit in knowledge .
