Yes, even at the age of 12-18 months, children are socializing! Just take a peak into our toddler 1 room, many of them are babbling and laughing with each other. They are clearly communicating and we wish we knew what they were talking about!
Now is when toddler will start to really enjoy the company of other kids, both their age and older. You may notice, though, that pals engage primarily in "parallel play" — that is, they sit side by side but play on their own. Older toddlers (around 18 months old) start interacting more with their playmates but are fiercely protective of their toys.
We love our toddlers and make sure to peak into our toddler 1 room to see all of the socialization happening at such a young age!
