Fostering Social Skills in Preschoolers](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/will-you-be-my-friend-fostering-social-skills-in-preschoolers) By [Aubre Rice](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/author/aubre-rice) on Sep 24, 2020 8:00 PM [![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/Preschool%20Social%20Skills.jpg)](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/will-you-be-my-friend-fostering-social-skills-in-preschoolers) "That's MINE!" "You're not my friend anymore." "I had it *first*." "No one will play with me." As parents of preschoolers, you've likely heard some of this language. As we think about formal schooling (preschool and Kindergarten) for our littles, we likely think first of the ABC's and 123's, the art activities that teach colors and shapes, name-writing practice--basic building blocks of an education.

They greet me with big smiles and out-stretched arms. At the beginning of the year I realized quickly that to bond with these little ones I needed to find something to do with them each day that would be our “thing.” It would be our special time to do something that we all love to do together. A time that they would look forward to each day. That “thing” ended up being singing, but it didn't come easily at first.
