A child's journey to adulthood is influenced by their family, friends, and community. Family provides love, support, and teaches values and morals through guidance. Friends offer support, trust, and love. The community encourages children and helps them feel accepted through bonding activities. Together these social foundations help children develop compassion and prepare them for independent adulthood.
