This involves acquiring the values, knowledge and skills that enables children to relate effectively and to contribute in positive ways to family, school and the community. This process starts shortly after birth and continues to adulthood. The crucial period for socialization is the age of early childhood.
Socialization are in two phases: Firstly, relationship between parents and primary care giver.
Secondly, between peer groups and fellow boys and girls. Once a child's social status is affected negatively, there will be difficulty in creating and maintaining satisfying relationships with others- a limitation many carry into adulthood. That child can change by engaging in socially constructive actions (helping, caring and sharing with others) and developing a healthy sense of self. Chinyere
