POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ON SOCIALIZATION WITHIN THE FAMILY

Socialization

1. SOCIALIZATION WITHIN THE FAMILY

2. WHAT IS SOCIALIZATION? Socialization is the process by which individuals learn the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors that are appropriate for their culture or society .

3. Importance of Socialization: Socialization is important because it helps uphold societies and cultures; it is also a key part of individual development. Research demonstrates that who we are is affected by both nature (our genetic and hormonal makeup) and nurture (the social environment in which we are raised).

4. How to socialize in family reunions? Making Conversation Bringing Others Into The Conversation Being Helpful

5. 1. Making Conversation Think about conversation topics that might interest your relative : Consider telling them a bit more about what you've been up to. For example: an award you recently received, a new teacher/lecturer at your school or college, a new style that everybody is wearing, which of your hobbies you like the most, and so forth. Be polite : You don't have to be entirely familiar with your relative to be polite. Just avoid topics that might be touchy, be respectful of their opinions and avoid arguing the point on anything. For example, if a relative recently passed that was close to, don't say anything that might stir up bad memories .

6. 2. Bringing Others Into The Conversation Talk with everyone you can at the table, so that nobody feels left out : This can ease a bit of tension, by allowing others to contribute to the conversation. In particular, look for the quiet ones who seem willing to say something but need prompting, out of shyness, fear or uncertainty. Talk about things or people you have in common : This is a great conversation topic that really can get things moving. Asking after what a mutual friend/neighbor or person is now doing can be a great way to connect various people and to lead into further discussions .

7. 3. Being Helpful z Help to pass the food around : Offer to hand out food when people are seated elsewhere than at the table. It's another good excuse to talk too, as you can ask how they like the food, what their favorite foods are and whether they'd like more. Help clean up : Offer to do the dishes, put things away, clear up, etc. Encourage others to help too. It's a good way of having a chance to natter with those who are helping with you and to get the cleaning up done quickly, so that everyone can get back to conversing together.

8. SOCIALIZATION WITHIN THE FAMILY: Within the family, socialization occurs through various mechanisms, including: Modeling: Children learn by observing and imitating the behavior of their parents and other family members. They learn how to speak, how to interact with others, and how to perform everyday tasks through observation and imitation. Reinforcement: Family members reinforce certain behaviors by providing rewards or punishments. For example, children may be rewarded for good behavior, such as sharing or helping others, while they may be punished for bad behavior, such as hitting or yelling. Instruction: Family members also provide direct instruction to children, teaching them the rules, norms, and values of their culture or society. They may explain why certain behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate and how to behave in different social situations .

9. Siblings: Siblings also play a role in the socialization process. They may provide opportunities for children to learn how to interact with others, negotiate, and resolve conflicts. Siblings also provide emotional support and socialization experiences that may differ from those provided by parents.

10. What if we don’t socialize? " Lacking encouragement from family or friends, those who are lonely may slide into unhealthy habits," Valtorta says. In addition, loneliness has been found to raise levels of stress, impede sleep and, in turn, harm the body. Loneliness can also augment depression or anxiety." Last year, researchers at the Florida State University College of Medicine also found that loneliness is associated with a 40 percent increase in a person’s risk of dementia. (Dementia is not a specific disease but is rather a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia)
