This desire for peer interaction, usually with one of the same gender, extends beyond school and carries over to play and outside activities.Organized sports such as baseball teach team cooperation, competition, and other social skills.Concerns exist that young children have experienced too much physical and psychological pressure to perform in sports.This has generated a renewed commitment by many parents to focus more on the fun of sports than on the winning of games.Scouts and 4-H clubs teach children about group functioning, processes involved in carrying out a task, and the power of social relationships to create change.Emphasis should move away from highly competitive activities that promote more of a feeling of superiority than team work to reach a goal.Family activity days and participation in 4H clubs are excellent activities to promote healthy interaction with others.Children in this age group generally prefer to play with children of the same sex.
