[quote=Anonymous]This is very common and I see this often at preschool/daycare. These kids are learning on how to interact socially. I’m going to briefly try to describe what my observations are in this age group when they say they don’t want to play with somebody. It’s less about the rejection of the third individual and more about the playtime between the others in the group. They might be playing a game where in their minds is only for them and nobody else. 10 minutes later, they’re playing with the “rejected” child, and might exclude somebody else. Five minutes later, they’re all playing together nicely. They’re learning how to interact with each other at the stage. Remember, not too long ago in their young lives. They were engaged in parallel play. It’s a learning process, and the majority of the time kids grow out of that phase. I hope I explained that semi coherently. [/quote]
