The child as a response to social influences

Abstract

This study analyzes the fundamental role of social influence in the psychological development of children. Starting from the importance of the family as the first social nucleus, it explores the relational dynamics that influence the sense of self and the perception of the outside world. Through interaction with parents and the social context, children develop social awareness, which is essential for healthy integration into the community. The position within the family (firstborn, second-born, or only child) is crucial in determining the child's behavior and emotions. Economic conditions and gender roles further contribute to shaping childhood identity. In conclusion, Adler's work emphasizes the need for adequate education, as the future of society depends on the balanced growth of children
