I found the following article in the New York Times. This article tells how important it is for young children, mostly in elementary school, to make friends. If they're too shy, they become social outcasts and later turn to a depression stage. The friend doesn't have to be very close, either. The article, obviously goes into more detail about it. I thought it was very interesting.
Children's Friendships
Thanks for your post. Where are comments from the other students?
ReplyDeleteWe teachers can have a role in helping these young kids to avoid depression when they're older.
You're so right Queshelle. It seems as though I was most outgoing and friend attracting when I was younger. Wierd
