Enjoys positive friendships; huh?

What does the above phrase, from the report card (Scotland), mean?
Marks possible: always, most of the time, on occasion, rarely.

I imagine that means she’s started to have some spats/fallings out with peers.
The best thing to do if you don’t understand anything on her report is to talk to the teacher.

If she has positive relationships "most of the time" it sounds like she's been doing fine but occasionally falls out with friends or doesn't join in - totally normal. Kids are still learning socially. It doesn't sound like something to be concerned about at all but you could ask the teacher?

This is taken from the EYFS Statutory Framework and is what the teacher has to use to assess and report on all children. It might be slightly different in Scotland but probably similar. It just means the teacher can tick the box that DC has achieved this goal, it isn't teacher code for anything else.

Personal, social and emotional development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities

So, what would the opposite be? "Enjoys bullying/bossying"?
No because they aren't using "enjoy" in the
"take delight or pleasure in" sense, they are using its other definition of "to possess and benefit from"

'Enjoying positive relationships' is the Expected level. If the child is unable to do this, for whatever reason, they need further help in this area. It might mean they are very shy and don't know how to form friendships not necessarily bullying.
