However, through each stage of development, there are specific mental and behavioral needs that are met through socialization. As your developing child grows from a baby into a toddler, and then into a teenager and an adult, their social networks will shift and change dramatically. Just remember, children learn by example and when they witness positive relationships or are emotionally supported, that observed behavior will aid in their emotional skills and cognitive functioning later on. Positive social connections with people at all stages of life help ensure healthy development, both physically and emotionally. Social connections go far beyond not feeling “lonely,” but rather they are the conduits of healthy childhood development. Healthy relationships and social support systems from the community are vital to lifelong wellness, and these interactions begin in childhood. We were not meant to go through life alone.
