Socialization Within The Family

WHAT IS SOCIALIZATION?
• Socialization is the process by which

individuals learn the norms, values,
beliefs, and behaviors that are
appropriate for their culture or society.
Importance of
Socialization:
• Socialization is important because it helps uphold societies
and cultures; it is also a key part of individual development.
Research demonstrates that who we are is affected by both
nature (our genetic and hormonal makeup) and nurture (the
social environment in which we are raised).
How to socialize in family
reunions?
1. Making Conversation
2. Bringing Others Into The Conversation
3. Being Helpful
1. Making
Conversation
 Think about conversation topics that might interest your relative:
Consider telling them a bit more about what you've been up to. For example:
an award you recently received, a new teacher/lecturer at your school or
college, a new style that everybody is wearing, which of your hobbies you like
the most, and so forth.
 Be polite:
You don't have to be entirely familiar with your relative to be polite. Just avoid
topics that might be touchy, be respectful of their opinions and avoid arguing
the point on anything. For example, if a relative recently passed that was close
to, don't say anything that might stir up bad memories.
2. Bringing Others Into
The Conversation
 Talk with everyone you can at the table, so that nobody feels left out:
This can ease a bit of tension, by allowing others to contribute to the
conversation. In particular, look for the quiet ones who seem willing to say
something but need prompting, out of shyness, fear or uncertainty.
 Talk about things or people you have in common:
This is a great conversation topic that really can get things moving. Asking after
what a mutual friend/neighbor or person is now doing can be a great way to
connect various people and to lead into further discussions.
3. Being
Helpful

 Help to pass the food around:
Offer to hand out food when people are seated elsewhere than at the
table. It's another good excuse to talk too, as you can ask how they like
the food, what their favorite foods are and whether they'd like more.
 Help clean up:
Offer to do the dishes, put things away, clear up, etc. Encourage others
to help too. It's a good way of having a chance to natter with those who
are helping with you and to get the cleaning up done quickly, so that
everyone can get back to conversing together.
SOCIALIZATION WITHIN THE
FAMILY:
Within the family, socialization occurs through various mechanisms, including:
1. Modeling: Children learn by observing and imitating the behavior of their
parents and other family members. They learn how to speak, how to
interact with others, and how to perform everyday tasks through
observation and imitation.
2. Reinforcement: Family members reinforce certain behaviors by providing
rewards or punishments. For example, children may be rewarded for good
behavior, such as sharing or helping others, while they may be punished for
bad behavior, such as hitting or yelling.
3. Instruction: Family members also provide direct instruction to children,
teaching them the rules, norms, and values of their culture or society. They
may explain why certain behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate and
how to behave in different social situations.
4. Siblings: Siblings also play a role in the socialization process.
They may provide opportunities for children to learn how to interact
with others, negotiate, and resolve conflicts. Siblings also provide
emotional support and socialization experiences that may differ
from those provided by parents.
What if we don’t
socialize?
 "Lacking encouragement from family or friends, those who
are lonely may slide into unhealthy habits," Valtorta says.
In addition, loneliness has been found to raise levels of
stress, impede sleep and, in turn, harm the body.
Loneliness can also augment depression or anxiety."
 Last year, researchers at the Florida State University College
of Medicine also found that loneliness is associated with a
40 percent increase in a person’s risk of dementia.
(Dementia is not a specific disease but is rather a general
term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make
decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia)
