What you need to know

Children this age make strong bonds with other children their age and they will start using the term ‘best friend’ more often. Children at this age also start to play board games and are able to follow most of the rules, although they would also like to adapt or add their own rules to the game. Winning is really important for children this age and they will make a huge fuss on losing.

Most children this age are not shy to approach another child their age and ask to be friends.
