Developing Friendships Throughout Development
explanatory Essay
1748 words
Social Skills are a set of behaviors necessary to get along with and be accepted by others in order to maintain friendships. They require being able to adjust one’s own behaviors to certain situations as well as their own personal needs and desires (Boyd & Bee, 2012). According to Kim (2003) “In early childhood classrooms, approximately 10 to 24 percent of children are classified as popular, while 10 to 22 percent of children are classified as rejected and 12 to 20 percent as neglected. The rest of the children are classified as having an average status of popularity by peers” (Kim, 2003). In this paper I will explore the importance of friendship as well as some social skills and their effect on maintaining friendships from infancy through old age. Friendships can have a significant influence on one’s mind, body and spirit. Friends can help one celebrate good times and help comfort in bad. Having friends prevents one from being lonely, increases ones sense of belonging and purpose in life, can help to reduce stress, make one feel worthy and improves confidence in one’s self. Everyone can benefit from friendship. Friendships can develop at any age and can begin as early as infancy. An infant cognition study offers new evidence that babies make speculations about social relationships (Ingmire, 2014). Ingmire (2014) mentions that infants can conclude whether others are probable friends by observing their likes and dislikes even before they have developed language skills or have learned much about social structures at all(Ingmire, 2014). Arranged into groups of sixty- four, nine month old infants were shown videos of two adults. The adults in the videos each ate two foods and reacted in either a positive or a negative way to ea... ... middle of paper ... ...an development (6th ed.). Boston: Pearson.

Through relationships with friends, kids learn how to express and how to manage and organize their emotions. They learn how to compare themselves with others. They also can discover what others value about them. If kids do not laugh, have fun, and get excited, they do not learn how to calm down themselves. They do not learn how to control their emotions. Peers also play an important role in setting the norms and the appropriate responses to them. In middle childhood, kids learn how to learn behavioral norms and impression management through friendship. They also learn rules of social behaviors. In contrast, during adolescence people tend to find who they are through their friendships. They can explore their identity by making social comparisons and reflected appraisal. Moreover, they learn how to integrate logic and emotion. They can also discover if they are good persons, and how others think about them. Friendship is very important for the development of high

Some scholars consider social adjustment equivalent with social skills. In this regard, Elliut and Gresham (2009) defined social adjustment as learned adaptive behaviors that enable people to interact with others, express positive responses and also avoid inappropriate behaviors. They divided required skills into five categories: cooperation, appropriate speech, responsibility, empathy and continence (Javan Sheikhi, 2001). Social adjustment is a standard measure of social development. Other words, a person’s social development is measured regarding his/her social adjustment with others. This “others” includes everyone, from friends, teachers and family members to neighbors and even those who are dealt with for the first time (Razavian, 2005).

It is fascinating how important these formative years are to a person’s future life. If our personality and perspective on life is formed by such a young age, it should then be understood that those people closest to us are the ones framing our perspective on life. These perspectives follow us throughout much of our adolescence and even into adulthood. How fitting it seems then, that the categories we find many of our friends fall into appear to be affected by the attention, or lack thereof, received at home at an early age. As I look back at my group of friends from high school, it is clear that we all had someone in our lives were trying to please. The only real difference appears to be the way we went about getting the approval we so desperately desired.
