Socialization is a term used by Sociologists to refer to the lifelong process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies, providing an individual with the skills and habits necessary for participating within his or her own society. I feel socialization go hand in hand with a person’s personality development. My daughter Katelyn is five years old and starting kindergarten in two months. I don’t really feel she is ready for so much social interaction (which is the process by which people act and react in relation to others)as kindergarten has for her, because all her life she’s been at home and not in daycare or really being around other children. Even though she has a few a few friends she doesn’t see them very often and when she doesn’t get her way with them she crys and pouts. When I was in nursing school I learned about Erik Erikson’s theory on life’s course. He says that the first stage in life is infancy where babies learn to trust and mistrust. The second stage is toddlehood where children around the age of two struggle with the challenge of autonomy vs.doubt.In stage 3 preschool, children struggle the difference between initiative and guilt. Stage 4 pre-adolescence children learn about industriousness and inferiority. In the fifth stage called adolescence, teenagers experience the challenge of trying to make a difference vs self absorption. In the final stage stage eight people are still learning about the challenge of integrity and despair. There arefive stages of socialization including primary, secondary, anticipatory, re-socialization and organizational socialization. I am focusing alittle bit on primary socialization. Primary socialization occurs when a child learns the attitudes, values, and actions appropriate to individuals as members of there culture. My daughter Katelyn
