PEER INTERACTION “Peer relationships provide opportunities for children to learn cooperation and to develop interpersonal skills, and peers are influential socialization agents from an early age” (Bojczyk, Shriner & Shriner, 2012). All the examples that I Include will support the development of these skills.

Children could play a game together with there friends, this will help a child with the skill of taking turns. It will also be a good tool to teach children different colors as they catch the fish and they may also count them as well. As a teacher you could read books during circle time to give children an idea as to what takin turns and sharing is, “Children can be taught to initiate positive interactions with their classmates during large group activities such as circle time or story time” ( in other words it will give them a visual out look of it. After the book it could be perhaps into a center where children play a board game where they would have to share.

5 encourage positive peer relationships
Working at a preschool where playground equipment is limited, it is often that children fight over bikes. In order for children to learn how to share the bikes, we have them count to 20, and then once they count to 20 they tell the other child riding the bike that ir is their turn to ride, then the other child get off and counts to 20 in order to receive another turn to ride the bike. At first it would be a good idea to help children count to 20 and then guide them through the steps of sharing the bike. It is important that the teacher rewards the child with verbal praise so they comprehend the fact that sharing is a way to make friends and also keep them.

A way that children can gain healthy peer relationships is working in groups in order to build language, taking turns.
