When 6­year­old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday

　　morning，her

　　eyes immediately

　　scanned

　　the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each other’s arms and hugged，”recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.”

　　Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.

　　A Skill for Life

　　“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground

　　for

　　adulthood，”

　　says

　　Dr.Robbie

　　Adler­Tapia，psychologist with the Center for Children’s Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.

　　Researcher William Hartup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive

　　(认知的) development.”

　　Hartup

　　concludes

　　that

　　the

　　single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather，how well a child gets along with other children.
