Build their confidence and let them see you interacting with others. They'll pick up on how you are socially and follow suit, even if it's just at the shops or at a cafe.
Baby groups do help children to mix with others of the same age and teach them how to play in harmony. Sometimes there are clashes but I do believe it's the best way for children to learn.

Taking grandson out to the park, soft play centre etc where there are lots of other children. Also having other children visit us at home and vice versa

Have Family Get Togethers and invite all their cousins over - guaranteed chaos but they have great fun all together and they see the adults chatting away so follow the example x

I think its important to teach them empathy and thoughful of other childrens feelings. When we take Josh out, we encourage him to play with children who might be being left out.

Teaching them to share their toys and be kind to others.

encourage them to join group activities and team sports

My DD taught my DGD to introduce herself to new children and although only 3 she seems to have a lot of friends at nursery. She has always been taken to toddler groups so maybe that is why she is very chatty and sociable. Supervised play dates are another way to get children together.

Mixing with other children from an early age, encourage them to join in with others, talk to them about their friends.

Let them be themselves but show how good it is to make freinds by mixing with others reading stories about children and freinds but most of all encourage but don't push they will make freinds at their own pace .

has not been a problem so far,daisy seems to attract nice people

I take my grand-daughter to parks, farms, soft play centres etc. and more often than not she will pair up with another child or children. If they go to places where there are other children, they naturally gravitate to each other.

Let them mix with other children and then stay out of it unless there is real physical bullying. Part of having a friend is the falling out and the making up.

Don't interfere too much - making friends takes time and is not the same as playing together nicely. Just make sure the children your child mixes with are people you'd like them to be friends with

Sleepovers & chidrens birthday parties are a good way of making new friends1

Playing games where children need to help one another or inviting children round and baking together.

I think if the parents socialise with other families then the children find it easy to make friends. They won't like every other child they meet and thats OK, don't push their relationships, let them make them themselves and they will automatically attract children they like and get along with.

When my grandchildren are a bit reluctant to join in and play then I choose an activity I know they enjoy and start playing and sharing / chatting quietly with the other children. Very soon my grandchildren will start to join in too.

take them to toddler groups

Always be willing to share in activities and toys!

Our granddaughters (5 and 6yrs) are sociable and good mixers anyway because of all the playgroups, nurseries etc available these days. However, I feel it equally important that they learn to value our friendships too.
We have two elderly neighbours - one 86yrs of age and the other a mere 81yrs of age. Our little ones visit them when we are on 'childcare' duties and appreciate them as Grandma's friends.
The 'oldies' love seeing the girls and the youngsters get to respect and acknowledge that there is an older generation who can be their friends too.

l USED TO FIND MY CHILDREN JUST ONE NICE LITTLE GIRL TO COME HOME AND PLAY AND NOW MY DAUGHTERS DOING THE SAME FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER AS ITS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE A GOOD FRIEND FOR THEM FOR SCHOOL

Take them to lots of places - playgroups, parks, soft play etc - where they can meet other children, and don't interfere too much!

I always praise my children when they do something good so they gain confidence and I find they are confident to chat to other children when we are at the park etc.

I took my grandson to a toddler group at the school he was due to start nursery at he made friends with those children which made the first day of school less scary and he seems to of stuck with them

Going to playgroups and events in libraries. If they hear you chatting to other parents and children they often join in.
