The child will resist!

I leave you here with a wonderful passage from "The Social Construction of Reality" by Berger and Luckmann. The subject at hand is, the opposition of the child:

The difficulties in first socializing a child cannot be accounted for simply in terms of intrinsic problems of learning. The little animals fight back, so to speak. The fact that it is fated to lose the battle does not eliminate its animality|s resistance to the ever more penetrating influence of the social world.

For example, the child resists the imposition of the temporal structure of society on the natural temporality of his organism. He resists eating and seeping by the clock rather by the biologically given demands of the organism. The resistance is progressively broken in the course of socialization, but perpetuates itself as frustration on every occasion when society forbids the hungry individual to eat and the sleepy individual to go to bed. Socialization inevitably involves this sort of biological frustration. Social existence depends upon the continuing subjugation of biologically grounded resistance in the individual, which entails legitimation as well as institutionalization.

Thus society provides the individual with various explanations as to why he should eat three times a day, and not whenever he is hungry, and with even stronger explanations as ty why he should not sleep with his sister. Similar problems of fitting the organism into the socially constructed world exists in secondary socialization, although, of course, the degree of biological frustration is likely to be less acute.
