Socialization Training Program for Children

Introduction 

One of the roles of the human services managers is to help the children who are disadvantaged in the society or those children who have a social issue in the community cop well with their situations. The services professionals always perform this role through coming up with programs aimed at ensuring that such children are well trained on social issues which affect them and how to manage their life in that particular situation. They collaborate with the community stakeholders and parents to ensure that such children are brought back to their regular status in the community ( Anzman et al., 2010). Professionals always use many ways to make sure that this dream comes true. They identify factors within the social environment which affect these children negatively and make them confident for them. They come up with resilience programs which are aimed at making the children cooperate well and avoid issues such as stigma. The children are always trained on manners to cope with any adverse influence from other groups or peer and many others. This paper describes what it takes to help these children cop up in such environments. 

Part 1 

The behavior of an individual in the society is influenced by many issues such the environment, the genes, the self, and many others. Many factors within reach of an individual and their ecosystem modify their behaviors. There are many factors which can both have a positive and negative influence on the people's behavior in the society. The first factor is the expectation. The expectation can have both positive and negative impact on the individual behavior. Too much hope can make one work like a machine. This can have adverse effects mentally. It will induce too much stress on such people hence can make them either too aggressive to the people around them or too soft to handle other matters that need their attention. On the other hand, the expectation in the environment is significant in case the individual can take it positively ( D'Amato et al., 2010). Expectation can act as motivating factors. When one has a target or is expected to have a particular lifestyle in the community, they can be driven either to achieve that lifestyle which is expected from them by the community or pass that expectation. In this manner, the expectation is fundamental. 

The peer pressures another factor in the environment which can have both positive and negative influence on peoples' lives. Peer pressure is critical especially in circumstances where the influence is positive. An excellent example, in this case, is that a child may be forced o perform well in the school or any academic field because he or she associates with friends who are doing excellent in such kind of area. This can also be witnessed in adults who associate with success in their life. However, peer pressure is also one factor which can destroy the behavior of people. Many have been addicted to the drug and became "bad guys" in the society because the bad company has influenced them. 

Part 2 

Many community programs have been designed to help the children overcome the socialization issues in the society. The resilience programs are often related and geared towards assisting many children to overcome the challenges of socialization. There are usually those programs initiated to help the parents manages well the children in the events that they are faced with social problems. The example, in this case, is dealing with depression in case the children are faced with painful alternatives on matters concerning their social welfare; For instance parental pieces of advice concerning how the children can deal with issues to do with pressure and many others. Alternatively, there are those programs which are enhanced by the schools and community at large ( Saltzman et al., 2011). These the applications which are rolled on by the community to help the children who have lost parents recover from their stress. These can train or advice on manners in which such kind of children can cop without their parents. Others include the programs which are geared towards helping the children who live with HIV/AIDs. This is usually rolled on by the schools and community at large to help the children deal with the stigma and victimizations. These can help the children recover faster from such issues. 

Part 3 

The community program which can help in overcoming the social issues which relate to the expectations and the peer pressure among children is essential. The program which deals with the expectation includes enhancing ways to make the expected yield positive results. These include aligning the expectations with the capabilities of the children or individuals; this will help them achieve the target, and promote positive behavior. Alternatively, putting less pressure and training them on how to handle the pressure to avoid depression and frustration as a result of the expectations ( Zolkoski & Bullock, 2012). This, therefore, will enhance positive outcome from the socialization. On the other hand, dealing with pressure also needs training on the children so that they knew the kind of people they should involve themselves with. This includes educating them on the effect of peer pressure, helping them have the capability of identifying and avoiding the wrong company and many others. This will assist in developing positive behaviors from them. 

In conclusion, human services professionals have a role in helping the children overcome their social challenges and recover from their adverse social issue faster. This including identifying the factors which affect the children both positively and negatively, determining the relationship between different intervention to help the children recover and come up with such plans to help them improve.
