Boys Need Friends!
Plural we see, at least in areas near the school in the hours after school, the children teen boys huddled with friends like. While adult males, tend to be aloof and not a problem if you do not spend much time with her friends as often as when he was a teenager. Then, what about the boys?
Dr. Michael Handwerk, PhD of child health research institutions in Nebraska, USA, revealed that for boys, friendship is a necessity that can not be negotiable. According to Handwerk, a boy basically do not need a lot of friends, provided he has a friend. Children will be easier to drift into the negative things if he has no friends.
Friendship provides a way for children to build a relationship with the world outside the family. Through this relationship, children learn to consider other perspectives, learn to negotiate, tolerance, and learning abilities they need to be able to live in the future.
Encourage boys to friends
If the children do not have the signs began to develop friendships with their peers, parents can take the role to encourage him to seek its own without forcing the meaning of friendship in life.
* Build the proximity of the first 24 months of a child's life. By keeping close to the child, she will learn to trust others, without this, he will be afraid of contact.
* Create a child the opportunity to build friendships. Example, make a pact with the parents of the child to visit her home and let the child play with his friend, and vice versa, the child and his parents invite a friend to play at your house. Alternatively, take the child to a children's playground, help kids get acquainted with peers, or include the child in activities that children like activity, such as music lessons or sports.
* Create training socialize. "How many parents teach their children how to start a friendship is true?" asked Dr. Handwerk. Do not think the introduction or the ability to initiate friendships come naturally. Parents need to be able to teach his son to form a relationship a positive and healthy friendships with the train, for example, how to approach a group of group of children. Do not forget to notice how the kids play with their peers. At home, offer your help to start the train it looks difficult to meet if he is approaching his peers.
