At any age, children need to learn skills to quickly develop both physically and mentally to make a living.
Parents should encourage their children to expand their friendship as soon as possible if given the opportunity to form their personality, determine their self-worth and affirm their role in the group.
Improving communication and behavior skills in society
Communication is one of the necessary skills for children, especially in their new age. When participating in friendship activities, children will have the opportunity to learn how to express their thoughts, listen to others and know how to behave in each situation.
Association with peers also helps children improve their studies with activities such as group discussions, and participate in extracurricular activities to help train confidence and cooperation skills.
Learn to understand and control emotions
Expanding friendships also helps children learn to understand and control their emotions. When learning to understand, share and support friends, children will form human values such as compassion and empathy.
Accordingly, controlling emotions not only helps children build a lasting relationship but is also a core factor in maintaining a positive spirit, reducing ego and getting along with friends.
Training in conflict resolution
There is no perfect and smooth relationship. Conflict, misunderstanding, and disagreements are inevitable in any relationship.
However, these situations will be a valuable opportunity to help children learn to resolve conflicts in a sense of responsibility and mutual respect. This is also an important foundation for children to form problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills in the future.
Learn to believe in yourself
When connected in a positive social environment, children will feel respected and from there, children will believe in themselves, boldly express their opinions and not be afraid to participate in social activities more.
This not only helps children increase their confidence but also learn how to face challenges as well as not be afraid to demonstrate their abilities in a learning environment, or in society.
Expand thinking and adapt easily
Expanding friend relationships will help children expand their worldview, as well as learn how to adjust differences and be flexible in social behavior.
Regularly interacting with friends also trains children to quickly adapt to the new environment - a skill that is especially necessary when steadfastly moving forward in the future.
