Understanding Peer Interactions Across Developmental Stages

This exploration delves into the developmental trends of peer interactions from infancy through late adolescence. It highlights crucial aspects, such as attachment, joint attention, and play in infancy, followed by evolving play patterns in early childhood, and the impact of group dynamics in middle childhood. As adolescents mature, their reliance on peers for support grows, with friendship characteristics shifting from simple interactions in infancy to selectivity in late adolescence. This comprehensive review addresses types of peer acceptance, including popular, rejected, neglected, controversial, and average peers.
