Social and emotional developement. Learning to live with others in both family and society is generally one of the most important part's of development, family and friend's play an important part towards this.

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. These people have great influence upon the child, and are able to teach them and socialise them into social norms and values. Secondary socialisation then is the socialisation we receive in later life from a range of different socialising agencies, such as peer groups, education, mass media and the work place.
In some parts of my country, I believe culture still exists and is taken seriously. The sociobiology approach of culture explores how the history of evolution has shaped pattern of cultures in today’s world.

Throughout the life long process of developing a sense of self the there are two factors that shape an individual. Who we are internally and who we present ours self to others and have conformed to social norms through the context of socialization. Within the process of socialisation, social structure and social interaction are both essential ingredients in an individual’s day-to-day life. This is because humans have the need to interact with each other for survival needs and furthermore maintain existence. According to the Macionis and Plummer, socialisation is defined as; “The lifelong social experiences by which individuals develop their human potential and learn patterns of their culture (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 695).” Socialisation establishes the importance of an individual’s social identity through both aspects of social structure and social interaction.
As a child practitioner an essential part of my work role will involve actively seeking to evolve and where apt build relationships. Consequently having a significant impact on children and young peoples’ lives. As quoted, (Children and young people’s workforce, Early Learning and Childcare book 2011) there are a number of reasons why people communicate which are to: • To promote relationships and to offer support – A social worker arranges regular contact with a family ‘in need’ and builds up a mutual system of support. • To maintain relationships – A child’s key person will ensure that he or she gets to know the child and his or her family, so that a trusting relationship is built and maintained. • To exchange information – For example, a patient visiting their GP will supply the doctor with information about their symptoms.
Socioeconomic status impacts human growth and development from birth until death and can dictate the quality of our lives. Cultural context is also a large factor in a person’s growth and development. Culture is something we learn and is in all aspects of our everyday lives.

Culture affects our beliefs, religion, manners, dress, even the way we think about life itself.
Families, along with their children, are the program” (Menza-Gonzalez, 2009). Educators who understand child development in perspective to family and community rely on competency to organize an early childhood program which incorporates effective developmentally approved practices which incorporate family and community into the “whole child” approach. “School readiness is, of course, a concern for everybody, but professionals with a child development back-ground often come at it from a different angle than some other professionals and families by recognizing that social-emotional development is vitally tied to cognitive development” (Menza-Gonzalez, 2009).

His Sociocultural theory is a learning theory that looks at the important contributions society and culture play in an individual’s development. He believes that everyone learns on two levels: first through interactions with others, and then within the individual themselves. Once an individual can learn and acquire concepts with the guidance of other individuals, they will then be able to perform independently. (Cognitive Development - Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory ) Culture is passed on by three ways; one through imitative learning – the child tries to imitate or copy another
