Even though most children have a surprisingly easy time making friends with other classmates, a large part of this is because of the repeated unplanned interactions at places like lunch or recess. Each of these interactions take about twenty minutes, which results in approximately forty minutes for them to collaborate, during around half of that time they aren’t able to appropriately communicate.
