Man is inseparable from society. Almost from birth, he learns the norms of society and patterns of behavior, learns to interact with other people, to build relationships. The socialization of a small child should be given increased attention, especially if he does not fit well into the children's team.
Early socialization
From infancy to 3 years old, the child basically needs only his mother and other family members, but already at this time he needs to begin to prepare him for entering society. Introduce your baby to peers on walks, invite familiar mothers with children to visit.
It is great if by the age of 2 your child will have his first company, for example, consisting of children from the same yard. While playing, kids acquire their first communication skills. Naturally, at first it will not do without conflicts, but only by communicating, children can develop such qualities as sensitivity, attentiveness, responsiveness.
After 3 years, the child needs to regularly visit the children's team. Even if you have the opportunity not to take your child to kindergarten, and he has many brothers and sisters, do not deprive the child of communication with peers. In the family, relations between relatives are already established and quite stable. A small child is always in the role of the weak and the guardian. If he comes to school with such attitudes, he will very quickly have problems with more active and unfriendly classmates. In addition, the “home” child is more likely to remain in the role of a follower and will never be able to become a leader.
Encourage your child to be friends with the children in his group. Invite them to visit and organize joint leisure activities for children: modeling, drawing, games and competitions. Teach your child to act as the owner of the house - let him feel responsible for the comfort of the guests.
How to socialize a younger student
Communication at school is as important as the study itself. With good socialization, a child at school age has many friends and 1-2 good friends. Give your son or daughter the opportunity to socialize with friends after school hours.
In order to rally the class, parents need to arrange hikes for the children from time to time. While the children are playing in nature, parents can get to know each other and watch their children.
If your child is having trouble making friends, try helping him. Children are well connected by common hobbies. Advise your child to enroll in a section or circle, start collecting an interesting collection, the exhibits of which can be exchanged with classmates.
Something interesting, inaccessible to other children, also contributes to the growth of the child's popularity in the class. If your child knows how to play checkers or chess wonderfully, dance, speak a foreign language fluently - all this will arouse the respect of classmates and attract friends to him.
