Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Socializing agents such as family, school, and peers aim to prepare children for both stability (the ability to handle routine, predictability, and security) and change (the ability to adapt to new situations and challenges). This helps children develop resilience and cope with different life circumstances. Trust, mistrust, abuse, neglect, the past, and the present may be aspects of socialization, but they do not capture the dual goals of stability and change that are essential for child development.
