During outdoor play this morning, the oldest child (22 months old) in our group decided to sit by another child (12 months) who recently started in our program.
She crouched down in front of him, gently touched his mittens and smiled at him. The other child looked at her with curiosity, studying her face. She says, "Hi!" and gives him a kiss.
Showing friendliness and love towards others are just two of the many virtues children learn in their daily lives. They learn such social competence through abundant positive interactions with their peers and strong attachment with their teachers and families.

What a lovely story about a budding friendship, compassion, and just he pure joy of watching young children learn and grow in their social interactions. Great job of describing what you saw. Love the blog.
