Describe how parents begin to socialize their toddlers, and suggest typical toddler responses-both positive and negative-to these socialization efforts.

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Adults socialize their children by increasingly communicating the rules of family and society to the toddler.
2. Toddlers show an increase in behaviors such as saying "no" to a parental request or throwing a temper tantrum, reflecting toddlers' greater awareness of the discrepancy between parent and toddler goals.
3. However, despite tales of the "terrible twos," toddlers are cooperative more often than they are resistant to adult requests.
4. Infants who are securely attached and who have developed more effortful control are more likely to be compliant with adult requests.
5. Adults who are patient, explain the rules, and provide praise for following them tend to have more cooperative toddlers.
