Social skills refer to the behaviors and communication techniques that children employ to effectively interact with others. These encompass a broad spectrum of actions, such as sharing, alternating turns, appropriately expressing emotions, interpreting social cues, and participating in constructive conversations. The cultivation of robust social skills is essential for children as they form friendships, engage in cooperative learning environments, and establish connections within their communities. These competencies are instrumental in enhancing a child’s emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and academic achievement. As children progress in their development, honing social skills facilitates their understanding of empathy, conflict resolution, and active participation in group settings. Encouraging the advancement of social skills from an early age is fundamental in laying the groundwork for healthy and positive interactions throughout their lives.
