How to boost children's social development

Social development refers to the ability to build positive, healthy and harmonious relationships with others. But in concrete terms, how can we boost the social development of children?

The power of extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities act as facilitators, helping children to adjust their actions to those of others. Whether within the family, at school, with a babysitter or during extracurricular activities, encounters contribute to children’s personality development and social integration. Encouraging early interaction helps children develop their social skills.

Sport and a sense of belonging

Physical activities enable children to develop many of the skills they need to become better adults, such as discipline, determination, team spirit and communication.
