The Value of Friends
August 3, 2012
I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy than a success at something I hate.
-George Burns
-George Burns
"Friendships are important for children because friends help each other understand the world in which they live. It is known that the quality of children's friendships affects their development of a personal and social identity.... Children with friends, even one friend, have better social skills and fewer adjustment problems. Friends provide social support and can protect against the difficulties of starting school, the birth of a sibling, family conflict and different family settings, behavior troubles, victimization and bullying. Children starting school seem to like school better and adjust better if they have formed friendships."
Videatives offers over 260 video clips of preschool children in real-life classroom situations as they establish friendships, experiment with loose parts, deal with conflict and disappointment, and explore their world. By using Videatives Streaming Service, you can make general principles of child development and early education come to life -- turn ordinary moments into rich learning experiences. Students and staff members will learn to "see what children know," not by studying text, but through observing and assessing real-life incidents in early childhood settings.
Videatives is available through Exchange as a 1-Year Individual Subscription or a 1-Year Institutional Subscription.
