The child beside another child and playing is exhibiting parallel play,characteristic of a toddler.Participating as a group leader does not usually occur until approximately age 5.Preschoolers (ages 3 to 5)demonstrate their ability to think more complexly by classifying objects according to size or colour.Two-year-old children do not have this ability yet.The play of preschool children becomes more social after the third birthday as it shifts from parallel to associative play.However,gender does not become a factor until the child reaches school age,when he or she prefers same-sex peers to opposite-sex peers.
