Parents are the ones that are near their child from birth to adulthood, and in some unfortunate
cases, to death. They are the primary caregivers for their children in their first years of life. When
babies are born, they are some tiny humans that need to be taught how to make sense of the world.
Even though in the first two or three years of life they spend their time mostly with parents, family
members, and family friends when they enter kindergarten things change. They will interact with
other peers, and as they grow up, they will meet more and more people.
The first interactions a child has are nurtured by parents. And they prove so valuable and impactful
for other periods of life, such as adolescence or early adulthood. So, what is the role of parents in
children's socialization?
