If social and emotional development is fostered at a young age, children are more likely to adapt into a school environment, work co-operatively, confidently and independently and to behave appropriately.

Research also indicates that interaction with peers provides children with important opportunities to discuss feelings, expand thought processes and knowledge, and experiment with language and social roles.
