At this age, though, your child is more interested in you, her own play, and her own toys than in other children. It's easier to be friendly to someone you know. Poking, touching, and pushing are her ways of showing interest in other children. She may develop interest in a special friend her own age if that friend is with her a lot. You will notice your child will smile more and fight less with this friend than with a child who is a stranger.
Extra toys make playing together easier.
From 2 to 3 years of age, your child will become more social and will enjoy playing with other children. Groups of children play best when they have the same toys or materials. They will fight less if there are two blue trucks or two dolls instead of one doll and one truck. Play is the way children learn. Play is the main activity of childhood.
