The present paper focuses on a sensitive and challenging psychological problem, namely, the problem of children’s socialization during the first years of life.How young children’s social skills are produced,developed and structured,significantly influences the course of future personal development.Certainly,the time period in which generations are born and developed,significantly influences human psychology in action.A comparative perspective on generations provides a deeper understading of the dynamics of personal life,which spill over into the dynamics of social life.Beyond the data provided by researchers the challenges of present life sensitize us to the importance of being developing and manifesting our social skills at every stage of ontogenetic development.
