The primary socializing agents of children age 6 to 12 shift from their parents to
a. same-sex peers in school and the neighborhood.
b. siblings.
c. pop stars and teen idols.
d. grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
A
School-age children increasingly reduce their dependency on the family as their primary socializing agents and move to the broader world of peers (primarily same-sex peers) in their neighborhoods and schools, as well as to teachers and adult leaders of social, sports, and religious groups. These children are increasingly exposed to the views and seek approval from people outside the home; therefore, their primary socializing agent would not shift to their siblings. Pop stars and teen idols are not the primary socializing agents of school-age children. Preschoolers are increasingly sociable with other children and adults other than their parents, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
