Q Analyze the terms "best/close friends," "cliques" and "crowds" using definitions and examples from the text. Then analyze your school years experiences with peer relationships using that material and any other material from the chapter. Do not use any first or last names. When you respond to two students' posts, you can compare and contrast your experiences. Remember, it is not your job to give advice nor evaluate the other students' posts. (A polite statement saying why you like it or take exception to it is fine.) As usual, make sure you include a reference entry for each post, use in-text citations in all posts, use good grammar and APA form such as indented paragraphs and Times New Roman font. (Double spacing is not required in the Blackboard post, but do it if you have no trouble making that happen.)

Emotional responses are important while considering “best/close friends”. This is because toddlers belonging to age-groups of 13 months to 24 months tend to find comfort/happiness only when there are peers meet them in stressful situations or just show their faces simply (Berns, 2016). In case of children belonging to age-groups of 25 to 36 months, there can be “best/close friends” selected separately for fulfilling emotional needs and play components (Berns, 2016). In the stage of momentary playmateship for children below four years, the motive of friendship is to obtain something specific (Berns, 2016).
