Early Interventions to Improve Peer Relations/Social Competence of Low- Income Children

Introduction Social competence is defined as the capacities children possess for developing positive relationships with adults and other children. It is well accepted that children’s development in all areas of functioning is influenced by this ability to establish and maintain positive, consistent and primary relationships with adults and peers. Early childhood educators and researchers realize that social competence is a complex, multifaceted area of development and includes skills such as regulating one’s emotions, communicating effectively, being able to take the perspective of others, problem-solving and conflict resolution, and developing positive peer relationships.
