![Page 2: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
It’s easy to help your preschooler develop social skills when they have the chance to be part of fun-filled, sociable experiences like summer day camp …

… where activities are geared to sharing games, crafts and activities with friends under the watchful eyes of trained counselors.

Kids at day camp have endless opportunities to learn important skills like sharing, working as part of a team, taking turns and treating others with kindness and consideration.

However, as parents we also have endless opportunities to nurture our children’s social skills.
![Page 6: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Play Dates
![Page 7: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Play dates are a great way for preschoolers to make strides socially, helping your child learn about how to act when a friend comes over and how to be polite to company.
![Page 8: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You can go over potential play activities ahead of time and have your youngster offer his guest three activitiesto choose from and remind him about taking turns and sharing.

Role play, practice manners and talk about what may happen ahead of time to alleviate any apprehension your child may have.

Parent/Child Bond
![Page 11: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Your child’s primary relationship is with you as his parent or guardian, and when youngsters are confident …
![Page 12: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
… that they can rely on you for support they become more emotionally secure and able to adapt to new social situations.
![Page 13: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
They are also more likely to be empathetic and aware of the feelings of others, making them more likely to get along well with peers.
![Page 14: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parents who encourage open communication with their children pave the way for better social skills.
![Page 15: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Be Positive
![Page 16: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Although kids learn from their parents how to deal with setbacks, loss and disappointment, overall parents should strive to display positive, warm emotions at home.
![Page 17: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
An upbeat, can-do kind of attitude does much to inspire confidence in preschoolers, leading to more ease in social situations.
![Page 18: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Kids who experienced a lot of positive emotions at home tend to have better developed social skills.
![Page 19: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Talk to Your Preschooler
![Page 20: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Talk to your youngster about his friends and his social experiences in a relaxed way.
![Page 21: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Not only will this keep you informed about what’s going in your child’s social life, but it lets you talk about how to use various social tactics with peers.
![Page 22: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
When talking about interactions with other kids, encourage a confident attitude toward problem solving in your child.
![Page 23: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Let your youngster know that everybody has to experience rejection sometimes and that rebuffs can be considered temporary setbacks.
![Page 24: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It’s helpful to suggest possible reasons for a seeming rejection, that perhaps the other child was shy or just in a cranky mood, and then trying to suggest ways to improve the situation.
![Page 25: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Stay Calm
![Page 26: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If your youngster comes home from preschool or playing at a friend’s house all upset because of an incident with peers, try to stay calm and supportive.
![Page 27: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If you help your child figure out solutions in a positive manner, they’ll know it’s not the end of the world after all if Tommy and Billy wouldn’t let him play pirate with them that day.
![Page 28: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Don’t dismiss or belittle negative feelings; let your child cry or vent and then talk with him about his emotions, helping him become more self-controlled and socially adept.
![Page 29: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Be a Role Model
![Page 30: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We all slip up sometimes, but try to be a good role model you’re your preschooler, and explain what you’re doing at times.
![Page 31: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
For example, “I thanked the cashier for bagging our groceries. She works hard and I want to let her know I appreciate that.”
![Page 32: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
This way, kids see how courtesy and consideration for others finds their place in everyday life and will tend to be more polite, empathetic and socially at ease.
![Page 33: Developing Your Preschoolers Socialization Skills](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110122/559344791a28abca728b4663/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Help your preschooler be active and responsible by providing opportunities that develop socialization skills.
