Abstract
Many preschool-aged children are learning what it means to be part of a group for the very first time. Along with secure attachment relationships, they need guidance from adults with regard to the rules for behavior in a group situation. In addition, children need to learn the life skills necessary to function alone or interact responsibly with others, caring for their own and others’ needs. They learn these skills by receiving both indirect and direct guidance from adults.
