Socialization in childhood
It is very important that the child begins to socialize from a very young age and can interact without problems.
No one doubts that people are social beings and are continually interacting with each other. Socializing is key when it comes to making anyone feel good, especially emotionally. From infancy, children begin to interact both with their parents and with other children . Socialization in childhood is very important in ensuring that the child can grow and form little by little over the years.

STAGES OF SOCIALIZATION IN CHILDHOOD
Socialization in childhood is divided into two well differentiated stages that I tell you below:
A first stage known as primary socialization is a phase in which the child begins to interact with those people who are part of his or her closest environment, such as the family . In this stage the child acts by imitating what his parents see and teach him. In this stage the main agent of socialization is the family.
Secondary socialization is the second stage and during it the child begins to acquire a series of very important social skills thanks to institutions such as school or institute. The family continues to play an important role as occurs in the first stage, although the weight of these social skills is due to the relationship with other children, whether at school or on the street.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY
The family is the axis on which the socialization of any child revolves. Parents should be the ones in charge that the child can interact and shape his behavior. Within the family the temperament of the minor plays an essential role. This temperament is something innate in any person and while many children have no fear when it comes to exploring and socializing, there are other children much more cautious who prefer to stay close to the figure of their parents.
Temperament is key for the child to be able to function without problems when it comes to socializing with other people. The children disinhibited tend to show a greater interest in expanding the social field while inhibited have some fear when socializing with people outside their immediate environment.
As I have already commented above, the type of parents that the minor has is key when it comes to being able to socialize in one way or another. The parents are going to be in charge of the minor’s relationship in one way or another. The best thing when it comes to socializing is to have parents who are democratic and with enough capacity to be able to listen to their child when necessary and the minor needs it. Parents should advise as much as possible so that the child can handle the different social situations that arise on a day-to-day basis. It is not the same to have parents that they will do their best to ensure that their child is able to explore new fields on a social level, than other parents who hardly give importance to the fact that their child has to socialize and gradually develop as a person.
In conclusion, it should be clear that socialization is a fundamental stage in the life of any child since it helps the person of the minor to develop without problems and in the future learn a series of values that will help them fulfill the goals set in his life.
