Childhood friendship bonds are important from an early age. It is through friendships that children learn empathy which is important in all future relationships. During play with friends, children learn social skills such as taking turns. They also learn about interpersonal conflict and how to resolve disputes. Lastly, they give children a sense of belonging and promote self esteem. #mindsprout #friends #elementary #homeschool #oldtownspringtx #bestyearever #htx #woodlandstx
