As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the        of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates． He also learns to       with new life situations, including dates and part-time work． Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment．
