In a few months, your toddler should be moving out of this difficult period. Here are some guidelines for helping your toddler learn to play with others. Keep the group small. At home have no more than three or four toddlers and at least one supervising adult. Have familiar adults nearby and available.
Toddlers feel more secure when they can check in occasionally with an adult they know.
They may need only a smile of reassurance, a hug, a lap to rest on briefly, or a bit of help when frustration mounts. Allow children to choose their own activities and to interact with others at their own pace. Provide toys, including some duplicates. She holds out a toy banana. He takes it and pretends to eat.
