Socialization In Early Childhood

When humans are developing throughout their early childhood and teenage years, they shape and adapt their personalities and thoughts with what they are surrounded with. This is defined through the process of socialization, which, according to Vasta et al, is the process through which society molds the child’s beliefs, expectations and behavior (445). Socialization can be affected by many factors, such as the people the individual is surrounded with, positivity and negativity in their life, how stressed out or happy they are, and many more.
