Final Answer :
(Note: The question could be reduced to two of the friendship types if desired. )
1.Momentary Playmates Stage (ages 3-7): We interact with those who are nearest,most accessible.
2.One-Way Assistance Stage (ages 4-9): We still view friendships from a "take" perspective,as instruments to help meet our needs,rather than from a "give" or "give-and-take" perspective.
3.Fair-Weather Friend Stage (ages 6-12): Friendships are characterized by more give-and-take,more cooperation.The relationship is likely to end if problems and conflicts develop.
4.Mutual Intimacy Stage (ages 9-15): We develop close friendships,but become possessive of these friendships and experience jealousy.
5.Independence Stage (ages 12-adulthood): While our interdependence leads to increased intimacy and sharing,we also tolerate friends making friends with others (independence).
