Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interventions with rejected children have focused on improving their relationships with peers by enhancing their emotional development. This can include teaching social skills, empathy, and perspective-taking, as well as promoting positive interactions with peers. Encouraging parents to reprimand children or coaching rejected children to try to influence the peer group may not effectively address the underlying issues that contribute to peer rejection. Encouraging peers to understand the rejected children's behavior may be helpful, but it is not the primary focus of interventions.
