- Building a sense of belonging and community within their peer group.
For continued development, you can encourage the 1-year-old to engage in interactive activities related to the pictures of their classmates. For example, you could create a simple photo album with pictures of each classmate and incorporate naming games or simple discussions about each child. This can further enhance their social recognition and understanding of their peers.
