Abstract
There are countless theories and models of socialization. All of these theories agree on one thing: it is a process, during which people pass on and absorb social values and norms, including the norms that apply to gender. Socialization is not a one-way process, in which our children acquire information from our “adult” world. It is rather a two-way process.
 Children socialize with each other in everyday interactions – both at home and away from home. In the theories of socialization at school, from the point of view of interaction, the focus is on the microsocial area, i.e the interaction between subjects. The basic concept of all interactions is therefore communication between the subjects. The individuals have a common set of symbols – speech – at their disposal and are confronted with the expectation of a stabilized behavior. The occurrence of violence in the child's family and in the social environment has significant socializing and educational effects, in a negative sense.

Summary
There are myriads of various theories and models of socialization, but they all agree that it is a longterm process, within which people absorb and pass on social values and norms, including norms such as gender. One of the reasons why we are dealing with this issue is that the number of families with social pathology, violence against women (often witnessed by minors) and, more recently, even abuse of the elderly and often disabled people, is increasing. Socialization and the theories of gender socialization “Society has shaped us and put in us sympathy and understanding that prescribe our behavior and which react with great energy when we resist obeying their commands Their value is the moral conscience and it expresses it: when our conscience speaks, it is society that speaks” (Durkheim, 1984: 47). Children create groups on the basis of gender, with an emphasis on gender differences at the expense of similarities Since their childhood, boys are inculcated with independence, assertiveness, fighting spirit, curiosity – values that are highly appraised in society. Androcentrism is cultivated in them, i.e. the idea that men are superior to women and the whole world is standardized according to this idea
