Abstract

As the development of family education and kindergarten education progresses, the collaboration between the home and the kindergarten has increasingly become a crucial pathway to promoting the social skills of young children. Early childhood is a critical period for laying the foundation for social competencies, which not only influence a child's current mental health and behavioral habits but also have a profound impact on their future development. However, due to issues such as inadequate communication of information and insufficient cooperation mechanisms between families and kindergartens, the development of children's social interaction skills still faces numerous challenges. This paper aims to explore the significant role of home-kindergarten collaboration in the development of children's social interaction skills, to analyze the current situation, and to propose concrete measures, with the hope of providing a reference for educators and parents.
