Savana Taggart Jan \( 205: 24 \mathrm{pm} \) If we were not socialized, it would have many negative effects on us. Socialization is key for social functioning, personal development, and cultural continuity. Some of the negative effects we may see if we were not socialized would be a delay in cognitive development meaning lack of problem solving skills and a delay in language . We might see these effects because we as humans primarily learn language through our interaction with others and we develop problem solving partially by observing others. I believe socialization is crucial for children at an early age because it helps to shape their skills and foster companionship and empathy (Warren 2024). For example, through socialization children are able to create attachment bonds to their caregivers and this is very important because it helps to build a feeling of trust and safety. Another social skill children develop is the role of play meaning, taking turns, using teamwork, and fairness. References Warren, H. (2024, August 20). The importance of socializing children.
