I learned that peer relations are change throughout your lifetime, that play when you're a child and you engage in more leisurely, relaxing activities as an adult. I also did not realize how much SES influenced the development of children, if they were raised in poverty, it impacts the way they perform in school.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned peer relations impact a person for their life. Many times if a person didn’t have good peer relations as a child, they will have trouble trusting people as they get older. On the other side, a child with great peer relationships will have easier times finding friends in adulthood and will be more open.

Friendships and peer relationships provide a sense of companionship and support throughout childhood. We tend to make friends with the same-sex when we are younger because that is a similarity.  As we age, our friend groups become smaller. In childhood, play is a way to explore and learn whereas in adulthood leisure is a way to relax and for some people it is done alone rather than with friends. Children learn through play and interaction.

I thought it was interesting to learn about the way that others were affected in their childhood by bullying or by their personal peer relations. One of my favorite things to listen to were those who were affected by going to low socioeconomic status schools and to listen and compare how different my experience was to theirs.

Leisure and play decrease as you get older. When you're younger you have more free time due to having less responsibilities. However, as you get older your responsibilities increase therefore leaving you with less time for play and leisure,

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that friendships even at a very young age can impact your adult life. That being said, I also learned that bullying can cause mental issues such as anxiety, and aggression for children later on in life. I didn't realize that intimacy was a main factor in friendships. I always thought that was more of a dating relationship factor but its for both for different reasons. I lastly would like to point out that even when children are young the are still driven by academic achievement even if they don't realize it.

As a child playing in a top priority as a child. At the time kids don’t see how engaging in play with other children helps with coping skills, helps with problem solving and improves their overall development. as a child I interacted in social play more than anything loved playing house or doctor won’t my other friends. Knowing the infromation that I do now I can see how my social play helped me develop my problem solving ability.

Friendships start off as having similarities then get more important and intimate. Friendships decrease overtime as one gets older.

I learned that peer relations can change throughout the course of your life span. So, the people that you associate with changes because you as person are changing too. I didn't know that play and leisure varies drastically across the world. In the U.S. people tend to focus more on the electronics or being outside the home, while in other culture play and leisure is heavily spent on family time. SES pretty much influences everything, from the people you associate yourself with the kind of person you evolve to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Children with a higher SES are able to play and enjoy it more because of the lower stress levels and opportunities whereas kids with a lower SES are more concerned with survival

I learned how friendship changes throughout the life span so that as you get older you have fewer friends but generally they are also a closer group of friends. And when you reach adulthood your friends tend to be integrated into your life.

As you get older, you begin to look for more fulfilling friendships rather than surface level relationships

No matter an individual’s Socio Economic Status there are struggles within those environments that are lower, higher and in between. I’ve learned that lower SES environments are more community based while those who are within the higher SES status are more individually centered.

As a child, friendship focuses more on similarity and developmental advantages can arise if the friends are supportive and are driven by achievement. As an adolescent, your friend groups become smaller and more important in social areas. Finally as and adult, your number of friendships decline, and you want more people on your path in your life.

# data[].attributes.body
Leisure is more prominent in adolescence and children because they have more time for it. As you age you work more therefore you don't have as much time for leisure activities. People 60+ do not have leisure time. Over time leisure goes from playing and having fun to just trying to relax as you get older.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that peer relations are a crucial aspect of development. These relations are the building blocks of future interactions. The “status” of a child will heavily influence their development and how they view themselves in a social hierarchy.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendships decrease over time, especially in adolescence. As a young child friendships are based on what similar things you have in common with the other person, However, adults usually have little friendships because they are picking close friends over new friends.

# data[].attributes.body
In adolescence we look for similarity when choosing our friends. However, as we age we begin to pay more attention to someone's attitude when deciding if we want to be their friend.

In children it starts with similar interests and progresses through more thought and intimacy as a person gets older so that in older ages friendships are far more intimate.

I gained more insight on how profound the effects of SES can be for a family

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that peer relationships do not stay the same, as you grow up friendships start to have different meanings. Once you get older you tend to look for friends that support you to do better. I also learned that at a young age people had different plays, Ibfor one am a social play, since I was always to interact and included people in things.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a different perspective on how a persons SES can play a role in how they grow up, make friends and adapt to their environment as a whole. The neighborhood a person lives in can greatly change how a person will make friends and come to understand the people around then. For example, if a person lives in a wealthier neighborhood they can be more to themselves and worry more about what they have rather then the people around them and people in low SES areas may tend to focus on the benefits of the community as a whole and not just on what they have other then the essentials.

Teenagers prefer small groups of friends, the number of friendships decline from adolescence to emerging adulthood. Older people chose old friends over newer friends.

I learned that peer relations in early childhood have influence over your life in adulthood. If a child is bullied or is felt isolated from peers in childhood, this could cause them to seclude themselves in adulthood.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendship changes throughout the lifespan by friendships becoming closer and more in time to ad the person ages. Childhood friends are friends mainly because of convenience, the children typically go to school together or live near each other so it’s easy to be friends. As friendships change into adolescence friends grow closer and begin to choose who they want to be close with. Adulthood had more cross-gender friends and the number of friends decline, but the quality of those friends increase. As late adulthood friendships come along new friends are made because late adults are imerged into a new community.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendship changed throughout the life span by during childhood your friends are characterized by who your around and who’s alike to you. Then in adolescence your friend group gets smaller and tends to be closer group of people this follows into early adulthood. Then during adulthood friendships are formed more by who’s around you in your daily life and as adulthood transitions into late adulthood your group of friends tends to get even smaller and closer.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that as you get older you tend to chose close friends over new friends. Also new friends are less likely to be made in late adulthood.

As you get older, values and time change. You start to not prioritize leisure as much as you did when you were younger due to lack of time and increase in responsibilities.

Both decrease with age due to time restraints and the expense of activities. When you are older, you also learn to enjoy different things

# data[].attributes.body
When you are younger, you tend to have a variety of friends with similar qualities as you. However, the older you become the more intimate friendships become.

# data[].attributes.body
One major thing I learned was friendships have a different meaning as you get older. Also, leisure time is much more appreciated as you get older because there is less of it.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest thing that I notice about friendship changes throughout our lifespan are the amount of friends that we have and the needs that they fill in our lives. As we grow, our friends become more intimate and we look for more specific qualities in friends versus when we are young. I also looked at the socioemotional idea of choosing your friends as you get older and choosing to spend more time with people you love versus choosing to spend time with acquaintances.

# data[].attributes.body
When we are young, friendships are usually easy to make due to the fact that we do not look for a long list of qualities in a friend. We usually just look for similarities and the same interest, although when we get older we try to find more friendships/relationships that have more meaning to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendship in childhood focuses on similarities and playfulness. In adolescence, friendships become intimate and more supportive. In adulthood, the amount of friendships tend to decrease while the quality increases.

# data[].attributes.body
What I thought was interesting was friendships from adolescent to adulthood change a lot. I did not know that women have closer relationships with their friends than men do. I did however notice that I lost contact with many of my high school friends, but didn't think it was a common thing.

Play helps chiller master anxiety and reduces conflicts, and creates better coping skills to deal with life problems. Play also benefits creativity and abstract thinking. I think as a kid I was involved in social play because I had siblings to interact with. Adolescents spend more time on leisure activities while adults prepare for retirement and spend no time on leisure activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Play decreases while leisure increases. As we age, are desire for activity deteriorates and leisure becomes more important.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally. when growing up my first friends were my cousins and it was more so because we had already had something in common. I was able to distinguish which cousins were my friends and who were not. Of course once the middle school years were reached friendships are more closely based on the similarities shared within the peer group- usually with the same sex. Once adulthood is reached friendships are a mixture of females and males, values that are shared play a huge factor in determining the closeness of the frienships.

children play more while adults enjoy leisure time better. This is why as people ages their okey turns into lesiure. Children interact in social play, Practice play and constructive play. As they age and mature, they play more games. As adulthood comes, that play turns into lesiury activities such as watching tv, talking or just having free time.

Friendships change in our lifetime as we grow. As a child we form friendships based on similarities like age. As we get older our outer circle decreases and we are left with a smaller friend group. Though older adults have a smaller friend groups, these relationships are more meaningful and long-lasting.

As a child, play is a need for development. Its more focused on pleasurable activities, it reduces anxiety and helps children cope later in life. As an adolescent, you want to have your free time to do pleasant activities you enjoy. These usually involve being on your phone, playing video games, and other screen based activities. Also, hanging out with your friends. As an adult, you start expanding your opportunities and midlife you start to plan for retirement.

Throughout life individuals can have different groups or waves of people in their life whether it be a friend group, clique, crowd, or support group. Friendship groups can be developed from necessity and fear of being alone, or can be initiated through common interests and mutual trust between members of the group. As you develop through life you discover what kind of friends you want in you life and develop socioemotional selectivity especially as an adult.

Play relationships are very critical to children when growing up. I learned about the many stages of play that develop over the lifespan of an individuals life and the affect that SES can have over these relationships.

I learned that friendship, play, and lifespan develop and change throughout one’s lifetime. I also learned that due to sociocultural differences, others may view all of these points differently. With better friends or better developing friendships a person has, the lower the possibility of being involved in delinquent behavior, substance abuse, “risky” sexual behavior, and higher the chance of academic achievement.

Play usually decreases as you get older while leisure may increase. When you’re younger you tend to focus on social and constructive play but all that changes as you grow up. You probably aren’t going to enjoy playing with dinosaurs or playing “school” with your friend when you’re older, you’ll probably enjoy leisure like activities such as, listening to music, reading, drawing, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the best way to describe this would be that play turns into leisure as we age. As a child, I was involved in lots of sports, so most of my play was practice play as I learned new skills and sought out to master them. Whereas now, I turn to leisure in my spare time as a way to decompress versus play as a way to explore new things.

From a young age play and leisure is a way to be aware of the social roles we are required to play as part of a society and also allows you to be expressive. It helps develop the social skills necessary for life. At a younger age it is about having fun and engaging with your peers, however, as you age play and leisure turns to more of a relaxing activity. Its a way to escape your world and responsibilities and just having fun in whatever way that is reached.

As a child children engage in active leisure in the from of play. This play is important because it allows children to build social and sensorimotor skills.

There are many play stages that an individual will go through and through these stages they begin to make friendships. Theses friendships change over one as the individuals grow and begin to develop their personalities and discover what they like and dislike.

At a young age friendships are usually determined by parents and by having same-sex friends. growing into adolescents, friendships are more for the social popularity and the diversity of the genders in your clique began to change. Then you hit a time in your life where you value your friendships more, where you have less friends but a stronger relationship. you choose who you want to surround yourself with.

Play in children is a great way to develop the skills necessary for their later years. They go from sensorimotor where they are simply moving around to games and those in between to get to where they are able to play games and both physically and cognitively understand what it means. This also develops imagination and creative thinking. As a teenager, there is still plenty of time to engage in fun activities, but sometimes it may be too much. As an adult, they are too focused on retiring and being on a stable income that there is barely any time for fun. After retirement, most are still trying to work, but there are those who have the luxury to engage in leisure activities.

In childhood, it’s all about similarity. In adolescence and early adulthood, one has less friends but the relationships are more intimate, more so in females than males. Similar to adolescence, one has a less number of friends but they are far much more intimate, and adult females are much more chatty when together than adult males (duh). In late adulthood, friendship networks expand, though close friends will be chosen over new ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Play and leisure begin to change in an individuals life as they begin to grow and age. Play is more for younger individuals such as toddlers and children and leisure becomes something more adults and teenagers will participate in. This is because of the responsibilities in life that must be met by adults or teens will be taking up most of their time so when they have to go just relax and breathe. However, older adults will not participate in leisure because they are preparing for retirement.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I learned and really related with was socioemotional selective theory. I went through a lot as a child so I believe that from a young age I started this process of removing friendships didn't benefit me, that were toxic or that I didn't enjoy. And I learned that its okay to do so and I shouldn't feel guilty for do so.

When you’re younger, you have so much energy and creativity to put into play. Play teaches coping, communication, compromise, and increases cognative function. When you’re older, you have less energy. Since you’re increasingly tired, you tend to want to decompress rather than waste energy.
