Children's Peer Groups

Children’s peer groups are social circles formed by children who interact regularly, share common interests, and influence each other’s behaviors and attitudes. These groups help kids develop social skills, learn cooperation, and gain a sense of belonging. Peer groups can be formed naturally at school, around hobbies, or through neighborhood activities, and they play a key role in shaping children’s identity and emotional well-being. The dynamics within these groups can influence children’s self-esteem, decision-making, and peer acceptance, making them an important aspect of social development during childhood.
