The kindergarten is a school space whose objective is to promote educational work and activities related to the growth and development of children. On average, entry to this system occurs between 4 and 5 years, although it depends on psychological and social skills, and the requirements of each country.
Although it is true that education should start from within the family, it is the teachers who complement and reinforce the appropriate parenting practices and the cognitive, social and emotional development of the child as an entity within the environment that surrounds it. Why is it so important that minors attend these settings early?
In kindergarten they acquire social skills
When children begin to develop social skills, they not only gain friends, but other types of knowledge. By interacting, they learn to set rules and make decisions. Through friendship they are capable of experiencing fear, anger, rejection, aggression, among other emotions. In turn, this helps them understand what is appropriate and what is not.
They begin to see what social positioning is like, power, situations where different behaviors are required, what is fair and what is not, and the feeling of belonging to a group. In particular, in kindergarten they learn to compare themselves to other children – who is bigger, faster, or smarter – and to foster the building of self-esteem.
Friendships are a natural necessity, reflected by the time spent sharing activities . At this stage, these relationships are based on the companionship they have.
