In Kindergarten, children begin to interact with other children, which allows them to develop skills to create and maintain relationships, where conflict resolution, the communication process, initiative and negotiation are fundamental in this process.
At the same time, through relationships with their friends, they begin to explore and learn important factors for satisfactory social coexistence such as empathy, commitment, respect and value for differences. We have created different activities that help the children understand and improve their relationships, such as cooperative work, building the community as part of our inquiry unit, and creating a “spider web”.

During this spider web activity, the children were holding one end of the string and passing it to another classmate and at the same time, they were expressing ideas of how they could help improve the relationship between classmates within the classroom.
The children expressed that they would like to hear their classmates say.

Kindergarten is a critical stage where children begin to develop social and emotional skills that will shape their interactions throughout life. Learning through interaction with classmates helps young children understand the dynamics of cooperation, sharing, and empathy. By engaging in group activities and play, they not only build friendships but also practice effective communication and teamwork. Resolving conflicts in this setting teaches them problem-solving skills, patience, and the value of compromise, fostering resilience and emotional regulation.
​Moreover, understanding that their actions and words affect others helps them develop accountability and empathy, laying the foundation for positive relationships. These experiences are essential for nurturing well-rounded individuals who can navigate the complexities of human connections with confidence and care.
