For 4-year-olds

By four, greeting becomes a doorway into play. Your child is learning to ask a name, to join a group already busy with something, and to notice when another child is standing on the edge. Look for stories where characters welcome someone in and the friendship actually starts there, rather than greetings being only a polite formality. Seeing a character get a lukewarm response and try again is useful, because that happens often at this age.
