Socialisation of Children Socialisation is the process of learning how to conduct themselves based on societal expectations. For people to be able to live, work, and interact together they must agree on common values, attitudes and behaviours and follow these in any given situations. For example: a child in a playground asking to play with a group already involved in a game rather than butting in Adults in a work meeting knowing that they need to be quiet while someone else is talking Two people needing to pass each other in an aisle at the supermarket saying ‘excuse me’ rather than just pushing past each other. People must learn to behave in the way their society expects. What is acceptable in one culture may not be acceptable in another. We learn how to interact continually through life by being taught by other people ( family and friends), and observing general social behaviour and being involved in social interactions.
Primary and secondary socialisation. • Influenced by those closest to children (parents and other family members) • We learn things such as how to communicate appropriately, using appropriate volume when talking, how to give clear directions, and to listen to others as well as talking to others. • How to use appropriate manners, saying please and thank you • How to interact with others, sharing, following rules, “taking it “ when you are out of a game • How to be aware of other’s feelings by understanding emotions and listening to others
Secondary socialisation • Influenced by other groups of people such as friendship groups, sporting teams, school peer groups, neighbours and the media • Children learn how to solve problems working together, make decisions and interact with others • Eg a young girls dresses in a particular way because her friends dress that way or an employee following instructions from their boss because they know that is the expected protocol.
Gender socialisation • The learning of behaviours and attitudes considered appropriate for a given sex.
