Socialisation is the process of learning the accepted culture of the society in which we live in. There are two stages of socialisation -- primary and secondary. Primary socialisation takes place in the early years of a person’s life, where we mainly learn from the family -- our parents, siblings and further external family.

During this stage, the child is able to understand the perspective of other people, especially his caregiver. The child is also able to communicate their needs and share mutual plans with their caregiver. Most importantly, the child can take the caregivers’ needs into account when interacting with them.
