This book explores how young children in daycare develop relationships, offering insights into the lived experiences of infants and toddlers. It draws on original research and international studies, using accessible language, examples and photos to illustrate toddlers' interactions and their embodied language of relationships, group-building, and friendship. The first chapter outlines ten reasons to focus on toddler relationships, discussing the theoretical and scientific foundations of peer interactions through social-constructivist theories, participative observation and the capability or agency concept. Subsequent chapters address the relational skills of children from birth, illustrating how they create a rich world in their unique toddler style, develop relationships in pairs, build groups and form friendships. ​From strategies like gaze, smile, vocalizing and touch to choosing preferred peers or initiating group games, their social capabilities evolve with age and familiarity. ​
