Fortunately, separation anxiety will lessen over time, and the same tactics you've always employed to make sure your baby feels save and secure -- meeting his needs and showing him love -- will give him the security to explore relationships with others.
It's also around this time that babies start to demonstrate affection for their peers, provided they've spent lots of time with other babies.

It starts as an imitative behavior, says Lyness, but as a baby repeats these behaviors and sees that they bring happy responses from the people he's attached to, he becomes aware that he's pleasing the people he loves.

For lots of kids, toddlerhood is a prime time for friendship. Toddlers have the memory to recall enjoyable experiences with others, can clearly demonstrate their affection for other kids verbally, and are beginning to understand empathy.
Encourage your child to form friendships as a toddler: Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing with peers also helps kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation, says Lyness.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying "I like you" during play is likely to come in the form of mimicking a friend's behavior.

Interestingly, according to parents. Kids can imitate kissing, and with time, they will start associating this behavior with positive emotions. Soon, mama, your little bundle of joy will give you a real kiss full of divine love. Raising a kid is a huge responsibility. Kids need boundaries and love in order to learn vital social skills.
Most of all, children need a role model who they can take cues from. Your little bundle of joy just wants you to guide them through life.

Simply because they love you! In , researchers at Duke University Medical School found that babies with very affectionate and attentive mothers grow up to be happier , more resilient, and less anxious adults. The study involved approximately people who were followed from when they were infants until they were in their 30s. When the babies were eight months old, psychologists observed their mothers' interactions with them as they took several developmental tests.
