Final Answer :
Families are by far the most important agents of socialization because they are the centre of children's lives.During the important formative period,families provide children with nourishment,love,and protection and guide their first experiences with the social world.In the first years of life,families are largely responsible for children's emerging identities,self-esteem,and personalities.In fact,the first values and attitudes that a child embraces are generally simple reflections of his or her family's values and attitudes.
