[quote=Anonymous]You'll get a lot of people saying it's too early to worry about this.

I have a different perspective because my 2.5 year old does have challenges with social skills which we're currently working on with a therapist (don't want to get into specifics, sorry). I think 12 months is a great time to start activities. Kids this age are starting to learn about social interactions, even if they aren't engaging in them. Starting early, and being with them as a primary caregiver, may help them feel more comfortable being around other people. In my experience daycare is just one type of social situation that is very specific, and it is good to expose them to different environments, so I think additional activities are good. Maybe it doesn't even need to be a formal activity but going to the playground where there are other kids or storytime at the library (they are doing them outdoors I believe). Take them to the store with you. I think during the pandemic we were told to keep kids away from everything unless absolutely necessary, and I'm starting to realize that is not normal or okay.[/quote]
