Help your child make friends of the same age Learning to make friends takes years of practice. Kids consistently exposed to the delightful rough-and-tumble of other children get experience with personalities who are as innocent as they are, as selfish as they are, as desirous of peer interactions as they are. So arrange plenty of playdates. Let your children interact with multiple age groups, too, and a variety of people. But pay attention to how much your child can handle at one time. Social experiences must be tailored to individual temperaments.
