Socialization is the process through which an unaware child gradually becomes a self-aware, knowledgeable, and skilled individual who respects the values and teachings of the culture into which he or she was born. Socialization occurs when children learn the customs of their respective groups so that they can behave in an acceptable manner within that group. This process requires an emotional connection with models, because children's thoughts, feelings and actions are formed in their connection with close relatives and the wider world. Literary works can be an effective aid in the development and nurturing of these dependencies. Among the creative works of children's and young adult literature, stories are the most fundamental ways of indirectly transmitting concepts and values to children. They prepare children to accept gender roles, identities and norms, values and beliefs based on gender differences.It is very important to pay attention to how gendered characters and behaviors are represented in children's and adolescent literature; because the characters in the story are involved in events that easily create gender stereotypes in the minds of children, and the younger the child, the less resistant they are to the influences of these stereotypes.
