Positive socialization helps a child to grow and develop
to his full potential in life. When a child’s personality
develops in a warm atmosphere of love and acceptance,
he will usually socialize well with all age groups, including
his own. Negative socialization, on the other hand,
separates a child from his parents and restricts a child’s
socializing primarily to his age-mates. This can have
detrimental and long-term effects on a child’s potential
sociability among a wide age dispersement.
