My son is two years old and he attends a special needs playgroup. The school year in my home country begins in September and ends in July. He began there when he was six months old. He has particular friends like his best friend Adam, his lovely friends Dominic and Ethan and his wonderful friends Leonie and Poppy. Term began yesterday and he was in a session with none of his friends. He was with babies and younger children. I have to pay money for him to go there and it feels horrible compared to last year.
Do you think kids like their friends?

kids love socializing and they learn very fast from their newly found friends. they are able to learn attitudes as well. kids friendship is a good way to have fun and know new things and build attitudes. am very positive that kids grow better when they have friends and playmates.

yeah i agree with you, kids like to have lots of friends around them. i have two kids, and they have their own friends whom they always had mention their names to me. my son, always mention the name of his classmate named, aaron, xavier and jyrus. while my little girl, always mention her classmates name johanna, chupita and a lot more. they like going to school meeting their classmates and im very glad with it, i just hope that they don't have a bully classmate.

Hi max, this isn't really on subject, nut is there a good reason why he is not with his friends. Surely, he would be happier with them.

I think all kids love to have friends... to play with or the just hang around with... when my daughter wasn't born yet... my niece then would always beg me to take her to the part just so she can play with the kids there... even if she doesn't even know them... then when my daughter was born... she was as excited as me because that means she would have someone to play with... she keeps on wishing that my daughter would grow up fast so that they can play all types of games...
Needless to say... the two are inseparable when they are together... and now they are both requesting for sleepovers... which i grant from time to time...

Kids like friends, especially in a only child family, and for most of the time, parents are backhome late after work. My grandson has a neighbor with two girls. They play together, sharing toys. He has a cousin to visit at the weekends. He is also good at making friends whenever possible. I remember once in a hospital, when I am arranging payment and pharmacy, he had good chatting with a boy. And at restaurant, he had good time next door at a birthday party, sharing cake with a little girl. Introducing kids to various settings is helpful sometimes.
