Understanding Socialization: How a Child Becomes a Social Being through Family, Environment, and Society

 After its birth, a baby first comes in contact with the mother and other family members. The conduct and behavior of other family members influence the child's conduct. In this way, the child associates with the outer environment; for example, they gain experiences from their playmates, neighbors, school, religious institution, etc. The society in which a child grows up influences the character of the child. He leans to adapt to society and tries to gain experience from social customs, values, norms, conduct, etc. So the process through which a child gradually becomes a social being is labelled as socialization.
