In a minimum of 500 words, now take some time to reflect on:

– Why do you think social relationships may be so important?

– What does it mean to be socially adept? What skills, abilities or traits might someone who is socially adept bring to their relationships with others?

– What role do relationships with others (parents, caregivers, peers, educators, etc) play in young children’s development of these relational capabilities?

– What part does culture, context and personal experience play in the young child’s development of social skills?

Describe how you see the theory connecting with your practice as a future educator? (How will this knowledge help you as an educator?)
