21.01.2022 Developing friendships and delighting in others is an important aspect of early childhood. Childrens friendships in early childhood are so much more than having someone to play with.

Through friendships, children can learn to negotiate, empathise, stand up for themselves, stand up for others, listen, ask questions and genuinely have an interest in people outside their immediate family.
