5. PRIMARY SOCIALISATION
Where does primary socialisation happen?
Usually happens in the family. The family is the primary agent of
socialisation.
Why is family the primary agent of socialisation?
During our early years we learn the most basic norms, values, goals
and attitudes of our culture and society from the family.
We acquire human skills – love, sadness, humour, to laugh, to cry, to
smile, to communicate and interact through primary socialisation, in
the family. Close human relationships are important for the primary
socialisation of children.

take place in the family.

our norms/values/attitudes
and goals?
