From the Paper:

"There are many skills or personal capabilities that are important for the positive social development of a person's life. Three of those skills include the ability to communicate, the ability to empathize and the ability to reason. Each of these personal skills and attributes are vital contributors to positive social skills throughout life. As people go through the various stages of life the skills are developed dependent on the environment and messages that the person receives in life."
"The family environment plays an important role in the development of a child or adolescent's social skills in life. The family is often the first and only provider of example that the child has during the first few years of life. If the child is exposed to positive and productive social interactions the child will learn how to contribute to social interactions in a positive manner."
