Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? The specific social skills that children learn through interactions with their parents include encoding and decoding emotions, regulating emotions, making accurate judgments about people's intentions and behavior, and solving social problems (Eisenberg et al., 2010; Ladd, 2005; McDowell & Parke, 2005; Parke et al., 2006). The ability to encode and decode emotional signals is acquired to some extent in the context of parent-child play, especially arousing physical play (Parke et al., 2004). Through physically playful interaction with their parents, especially fathers, children learn how to decode social and emotional signals and how to use emotional signals to regulate other people's behavior. This ability to decode and encode emotional expressions is related to children's social competence with peers (Castro et al., 2016; Halberstadt et al., 2001). Children's ability to regulate their own emotional arousal is also related to their social competence with peers (Eisenberg et al., 2010; Parke et al., 2006; Rogers et al., 2016). Attentional abilities, which are critical for noticing and tracking interactive partners' social cues, constitute a third set of skills acquired in the family. Children of socially responsive and warm parents have better attentional abilities and, in turn, higher peer competence in first and third grades (NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2009).
