By the age of two, At this age, your kid will emulate the conduct of others while simultaneously beginning to identify himself or herself as distinct from others. After the age of two, your kid should begin to enjoy the company of other children and look forward to playing with them. This is also when kids start to learn about social norms and how they differ from place to place and person to person. They also start to understand that some people are nice all the time while others are not. Children between the ages of three and five are able to recognize other people's feelings and will often try to avoid causing others pain. They also begin to understand that some people have more power over others than others. For example, a child might realize that someone who is older can beat him or her up. Children at this age will often seek out explanations for why certain people do what they do. "Mommy hits me because I'm bad," a three-year-old might say. "Older people get paid more money than me because they work hard for it." The most important thing for parents to remember is that their child's development is unique. Children don't grow up at the same rate, and no two children will develop socially at the same time. Try not to get caught up in how quickly or slowly your child is developing and focus on what skills he or she does have.
