Socialization is a lifetime process of people interacting with others at all levels of life. Most socialization happens in the developmental years of one’s life or childhood. Through socialization, humans learn how to live, fit, talk, and walk-in society. Parents are the main socialization agents to every child while growing up; I included (Bukowski et al., 2015). While I was growing up, other socialization agents that influenced my development were my peers, media, family, and school. I loved school and my teachers when growing up. In school, I received life skills and subject knowledge. Through my classmates and my teachers, I learned social skills, obedience to authority, being quiet, and attentive (Smetana et al., 2015). My peers gave me a chance to create relationships with them on our terms, learning new things, and trying new things without being followed around by our parents. I had good friends while growing up, and we always challenged each other to be better both at home and at school.
Some policies and initiatives can strengthen a family; these include resilience by the parents in the midst of family stress and their ability to bounce back from challenges. It helps in maintaining a good relationship between parents and children. Families should maintain social connections with neighbors, friends, and the community to help them solve problems, advise children, and emotional support (Walsh, 2015). Knowledge of child development and parenting at different stages of a child’s life helps parents see their young developing children positively, promoting healthy development. Training children to interact positively and communicate their feelings and thoughts effectively. It helps in relations with adults, peers, and families hence reduce family stress.
