The development of children’s sense of responsibility is one part of its’ social development which is essential to children’s psychological, behavioral and other aspects of mental development. Study on responsible is the focus of developmental psychology while studies on children’s responsibility is relatively weak in our country. Studies have indicated that early childhood is the best time for teachers and parents to foster children responsibility. This study attempts to analyze the child’s sense of responsibility and peer interaction development level and its correlation to provide some useful information for early childhood sense of development studies.The study selected some city, county and township of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province and 7 kindergartens 595 children and their parents for subjects by a stratified random sampling method.In order to understand the child’s sense of responsibility and peer interaction and its relevance. Research results show that:The development of children’s sense of responsibilities is unbalanced. And its’ development level from high to low is collective responsibility, tasks responsibility,sense of others, self-responsibility, negligence of responsibility. In general, the level of children’s sense of responsibility increased gradually with a older age. As for the demensions, the stage of 3-4 years old is of great importance to the development of self-sense of responsibility. The stage of 4-5 years old is a important period to the development of other aspect of children’s sense of responsibility. There are gender differences in the development of children’s sense of responsibility, and the level of female children’s sense of responsibility is higher than the male children’s in detail.In general, with the increasement of age, children’s peer interaction strengthens gradually. The ability of female children’s association in companion and male children’s do not make a big difference. Among the capability of language and non-language, the characteristics of prosocial and social barrier, the development of individual differences in prosocial make a maximum difference, and social barrier to a minimum.The ability of children’s association in companion and the overall level of their sense of responsibility are of extremely significant positive correlation: the stronger the ability of peer interaction is, the higher their sense of responsibility; The dimensions of peer interaction and the overall level of their sense of responsibility are of significant positive correlation; the dimensions of peer interaction and the dimensions of the sense of responsibility, with the exception of correlation between self-responsibility and social barrier, are of significant positive correlation.Among all the abilities of peer interaction,the three aspects of language and non-language, pro-social and social barrier can predict the five aspects of the sense of responsibility obviously. To be specific, the three of them predict the level of corporate responsibility and task responsibility; the two of language and non-language predict the level of negligence responsibility and the responsibility to others; the ability of language and non-language predicts the self-responsibility.According to the research result, here are some proposals concerning education in cultivating children’s sense of responsibility: Firstly, respect the rules of young children’s physical and mental development, take advantage of the crucial period of cultivating the sense of responsibility; Second, pay attention to the gender differences,especially in cultivating the male children’s sense of responsibility; Third, set yourself an example and give them a democratic upbringing; Fourthly, combine lenience with strictness, all the families should give them a harmonious upbringing; Last but not least,create a good environment to cultivate children’s sense of responsibility. At the same time, That cultivating children’s ability of peer interaction is of great importance to the development of children’s sense of responsibility should be fully understood, take an emphasis of cultivating the ability of language and non-language as well as strengthening the cultivation of the skills of peer interaction to improve the level of children’s sense of responsibility.
