Hi Mother Theresa,

social development

3 years old
• General behaviour more co-operative- likes to help adults with activities.
• Begin to join in games with other children and to share but still needs to be in a small group.
4 years old
• Likes the companionship of other children and adults but alternates between co-operation and conflict.
• However, understands the need to use words rather than blows.
• Capable of sharing and taking turns but may cheat in order to win – this is very obvious in games like Snakes and ladders.
• Shows sympathy for friends who are hurt.

5 years old
• Ready to mix with a wider group and to choose friends.
• Proud of achievements and possessions.
• Co-operative with friends most of the time and understands the need for rules.
• Protective towards younger children and pets and shows concern if they are upset.

6 years old
• A difficult period as friendships form and dissolve rapidly. The child often plays better with one rather than two friends. Although not always the case, boys are more likely to fight and girls to use verbal taunts when they fall out: “You are not coming to my party” is commonly heard.
• Children love parties and social functions at this age but it can be a traumatic time.
• The 6 years old is eager for praise and recognition and would always like to win. Attention from teacher/parent will spur him on but he sometimes finds correction difficult to accept.

• Make clear rules and stick to them. Talk to your child about what you expect from her when no adults are supervising. If you provide reasons for rules, it will help your child to know what to do in those situations.
• Use discipline to guide and protect your child, instead of punishment to make him feel badly about himself.
• Talk with your child about the normal physical and emotional changes of puberty.
• Be affectionate and honest with your child, and do things together as a family.

11 – 13 years old
• Be honest and direct with your teenager when talking about sensitive subjects such as drugs, drinking, smoking, and ***.
• Encourage your teenager to get exercise. He or she might join a team or take up an individual sport. Helping with household tasks such as mowing the lawn, walking the dog, or washing the car also keeps your teen active.
• Meal time is very important for families. Eating together helps teenagers make better choices about the foods they eat, promotes healthy weight, and gives your family time to talk to each other.
• Meet and get to know your teenager’s friends.
• Show an interest in your teenager’s school life.
• Help your teenager make healthy choices while encouraging him to make his own decisions.
• Respect your teenager’s opinions and take into account her thoughts and feelings. It is important that she knows you are listening to her.
