Meeting your child’s social needs can feel confusing. Parents often feel pressured to create a full schedule of play dates starting in babyhood … and then we feel frustrated when our older kids – especially our teens – only want to spend time with their friends. So what do our kids *actually* need in terms of social development and peer interactions, especially as they grow and change?

In this week’s episode, I give an overview of healthy social development from toddlerhood through the teen years. I talk about why young kids don’t actually need playdates (and what we need to focus on instead!) and help you think about your child’s most pressing social needs, no matter their age.

Here’s the thing: Social development starts from birth – but what our kids need most depends on their developmental stage. After listening to today’s episode, you’ll know what YOUR child needs most right now (and in the future!) to support healthy social development.
