Why does my child does not have friends?


The child already at the age of 6 months is beginning to show interest in other children and have contact with them watching, cooing, smijeĊĦenjem, touching. However, in this age peer contacts are rare, simple and short.Between two and five years to expand relationships with peers, and for most children, peers become a social system is second in importance, behind the family. 


The first friendship began to develop after the third year through accidental or intentional interaction, children learn how to socialize with others.
In this respect, they learn that it is important to have friends and be friends, how to solve problems, to be put in the position of others, on values, moral judgments, sex roles, imitation of adult ... With his friends, they feel safer, and this relationship helps them build self-image as a desirable person in society. And then what happens with children who have no friends?

Take, for example girl Lara, 6 years. Larry is a daily childcare big problem. It did not fit, no friends, no play with anyone, other children are not invited to her birthday. While it is good and decent kid, she is constantly in the shade. Often given in kindergarten performed on the sidelines, watching other children playing, wanting to get involved in their game, but does not know how. Today, Lara does not want to go to kindergarten, and not looking forward to it alone.

Play therapy can help children who have no friends so they can help you become more confident, to develop a better image of themselves and their experience of the environment. How? Let's look at how to play therapy could take place in Lara's case.

In a room designed for play therapy, Lara chooses to play with dolls' house. She took the family figures and put them to sleep. When it was "morning," Lara is every doll made in one end of the house: Dad is watching television, my mother cooked, my sister was playing in his room, and Lara with kittens in the other room. Since Lara paused in their game, the therapist took the two girls figure with the intention of acting Lara's age. Lara has accepted Therapist in addition to the game, as well as a call girl that Lara plays with them. Soon, Lara has proposed (the therapist's question, "What could be playing") playing hide and seek.

Lara's figure consisted of girls, therapist, "girls" were hiding. When it was found Lara's figure, "girls" have charged that the file (it's also Lara's instructions therapist how girls react when they find). For Lara and her figure, it was too much, so she decided that she had a lot of games and to go home now. From Larinih words and games can be concluded that a low opinion of themselves, to be quickly withdrawn and that in itself is not known to stand up for themselves.

Following therapy, the therapist suggested that Larry seems to show her playground. The court agreed to Lara, the figurines placed the other children at one end of the courses themselves and the other end of the court. The therapist asked Lara Do any "child" in this field that could be played with Lara. Lara said that she would be a "girl" because he played good, but not when others are close to her friends because she (Lara) is not "cool" to play.

With encouragement Therapist (this session took place would be when a child therapist and got acquainted with the confidence it), Lara has practiced joining other "children" asking them "in order to play with me?". The therapist responded to the figures of peers, as is Lara said that the real answer, that answer was "no, I do not want to play with you today." Since it is obvious that Lara was not in the game can not imagine that anyone would play with her, the therapist suggested that it is possible that someone is playing with Lara tomorrow. She said that this is possible and so began her journey to accept that she preferred to play, finding a child who is estimated to be played with it and finally enjoy the friendship.
