Answer to Question 2ANSWER: During the second year of life, toddlers do display social skills of modest complexity as they develop friendships and begin to negotiate conflicts. The complexity can be shown in the quality and depth of their relationships with peers as toddlers. For example, toddlers have been found to have reciprocal relationships based not only on their mutual exchange of positive overtures, but also by agonistic interactions. In other words, their relationships can be characterized by great warmth, aggression, and argumentative interactions as they learn to work closely with peers. As this research shows, there is rapid development in the acquisition of social skills during the first two years of life as infants move initiating basic interactions to developing reciprocal relationships with others.
