I am delighted to share that Petit ELJ Kew has achieved an overall Assessment and Rating result of Exceeding. Questions are essential conversation starters, and encouraging your child to engage in small talk and ask other children questions like, “What do you like to play?” can build their confidence and social skills. Your child will also benefit from attending family and community gatherings or other opportunities, such as storytelling sessions at your local library, where they can meet and interact with other children and make new friends.Īt Petit Early Learning Journey, our educators converse with children by asking them questions to learn more about their interests and thoughts. Group experiences are essential for developing socialisation skills. Playdates and playgroups can help your child build on their basic social skills, such as making eye contact or smiling at others as they learn to play in small groups. All children should be encouraged to make friends and respect their differences by discussing diversity and topics such as race, gender and culture. Children will copy our manners when they interact with others.ĭeveloping self-confidence and a positive self-image will support children’s social interactions, even those who may appear shy or introverted. Role-play meeting new friends with them and practise sharing, taking turns and resolving conflict. By modelling appropriate behaviours towards others, such as being kind, polite, friendly, and patient, children will observe what we do and say and learn to do the same. Discussing healthy friendships and sharing how you met your friends can also inspire them to build their social skills. Engage your child in a conversation about their feelings and how they might affect their behaviours. You can support your child’s socialisation by encouraging positive interactions in the lead-up to social events. Social competence helps children develop meaningful relationships, boosting their self-esteem and confidence. Social skills include listening, showing empathy, communicating clearly, respecting boundaries, cooperating, and exhibiting a genuine interest in others. Children develop the ability to socialise over many years and sometimes they may need extra support to not feel overwhelmed and meet new friends. These social occasions at Petit Early Learning Journey are exciting and provide children with the opportunity to practise their social skills and interact with others. Welcome to our November 2023 Family Newsletter. Starting from this Friday, our centre communities will gather for their Christmas events and graduations.
