Family socialization is important because children first interact with these family members before anyone else. Because of this, children learn the values, norms, and beliefs of society through their families. However, peer group socialization focuses on the subculture of the group. Young people shape themselves into the kind of person they think the group wants them to be by adopting the values and standards of the peer group.
