Different Timelines for Social Development
Social development occurs at varying rates for each child, influenced by individual personalities and experiences. Parents often find it challenging to avoid comparing their child's social life to others', especially in a world where social media highlights children's activities. It's essential to recognize that just because one child enjoys a packed social calendar doesn't mean another child is lacking or struggling; they might simply prefer quieter interactions. Understanding that each child has a unique social timeline allows parents to support them patiently and avoid projecting their concerns onto their children.
