Making friends helps a toddler learn to communicate and express him. To make friends, the child needs to talk. If the prospective friend speaks a different language, the child even tries to speak his language.
Toddlers who aren’t fluent yet in speech and who rely on their parents and caregiver’s ability to understand their body language and make shift vocabulary would be encouraged to improve their communication skills in the midst of friends who can speak well.
Sharing among friends is unnatural to a toddler. For him, it is all about me and mine. Toddlers cannot be expected to share their toys and food and other mines out of the generosity of their hearts. They will also not learn to lend and borrow among themselves. It is up to the parents and caregivers to teach them. Make sure your child has a healthy sense of self confidence. By your example, show him the benefits of sharing. Encourage, but never force him to share.
