Childhood, or lack of social skills, but the ability to participate in collective activities to develop via
The United States to a study, do not worry about the lack of social skills only child, this ability to participate in group activities through training. Ohio State University sociologist – Zeher and Douglas Downey on the 16th annual meeting of the American Sociological Association report of the research results. They investigated more than 100 U.S. schools more than 13,000 students in 12 years to 18 years of friends at school, so students from the school where the students pick out the roster of up to 5 names and 5 same-sex friend sex friend’s name. Two scholars found that students have been “nominated” the number of student gender and whether the child has nothing to do. In addition, the parents age, race and socio-economic status and other factors on social skills did not seem to affect their children.
Opportunity to enter the school after a significant increase in contacts
Developed countries, the trend showing smaller family size, appear more and more child, some people worry that this will bring negative consequences. British “The Daily Mail” quoted Bobbitt – Zeher, then reported: “Do not worry no brothers or sisters of children can not master the social skills, can not contact with other students.” Bobbit – Zeher said, the only child growing up in the process of enough opportunity to learn with others, such as participation in sports and joined the Boy Scouts and other groups, the only child to school and peers may be few opportunities to enter the school, contacts have increased significantly. Academia had a saying at home “no companion,” child driven to seek out friendship, but they may slightly stronger self-esteem than other peers. With Bobbitt – Zeher Downey cooperation in the study to a study in 2004 reached this conclusion seems to contradict, but Downey said that the two conclusions are not contradictory. In the 2004 study, Downey survey more than 20,000 American children make friends at nursery, but he was not the child “vote” to see their “votes won”, but allow teachers to hit children’s social skills points. That study, the teachers showed that the overall rate, child social skills than other children. Downey said he was in elementary school children in the 5th grade school teacher when they lie to their social skills, scoring, results showed that compared to the one-child social skills with other children is no different, and the survey results are consistent with high school students.
Lack of social skills during the one-child nursery
Downey said the 2004 survey may be a slight lack of child social skills, but did not know what happens in future, “it looks like we found in the nursery (child social skills) lack did not last long, may be gradually increased with peers and get up. ”
