1. What age is appropriate for teaching social skills through toys?

The age at which a child begins to learn social skills through toys is highly dependent on the individual child and their developmental level. Generally, children start to develop social skills as they interact with others during the toddler and preschool years. This is when they start to recognize facial expressions and body language, learn to take turns, and understand the concept of sharing. Toys that encourage cooperative play, such as board games and building sets, can help children learn social skills at this stage. As children grow older, they can use toys to practice more complex social skills, such as problem solving, negotiating, and resolving conflicts. Toys that promote these skills can be used in the elementary school years and beyond.
