Environment and its Effects
on Child Development
The social environment refers to
an individual’s
• physical surroundings,
• community resources
• social relationships

education, health care, employment and open space
for recreation. The nature of physical surroundings (including
their quality,
Community resources
The availability of community resources refers to community
structures (e.g. political governance)
and organizations, knowledge and support within the
community.
Social relationships
Social relationships are the interactions between
various individuals or groups. In every society, individuals
develop relationships with other individuals to enable them to
achieve their goals
What Are the Factors that Influence the
Growth and Development of Children
Heredity and Environment COMBINED!
Your height is influenced by your diet
(environment) and your genes (heredity)
• Ill health
• Moving school
• Friends
• Bereavement
• Poor teaching
• Difficult home life.
Environmental Factors Affecting Child
Development:
1. Emotional Bond With Your Child
• One of the first and main environment, your child will
experience is the one at home. Since her birth, the
emotional environment she sees and feels around her will
shape her personality. The bond your child shares with
you will help her understand and learn how to express her
love and fears.
• It will teach her how to interact with those who are close
to her. A sentimental connect with you during the early
years will help her feel confident and secure.
• A stable and loving relationship will nurture your child’s
personality. She will feel important and valued.
• Make sure you spend enough time showing her that you
love her. Hold her hands and be there for her always.
2. Your Equation With Your
Partner
• The relationship you share with your spouse will affect
your child’s developmental and emotional growth.
• Your spouse and you are the perhaps the two people
who will be closest to your child. You will also be the
first couple your child will ever know.
• How you interact with each other, and the love and
respect you share as a couple will help your child learn
about valuing another person.
• She will learn the importance of a strong connect and
will learn how to respect others.
• A little display of affection is okay and required in front
of your child. Small but important gestures like holding
hands and hugging will show your child that these are
natural ways to express love.
3. Your Family’s Financial
Health
• Your financial strength will affect various aspects of
your daughter’s childhood experience.
• Your finances will determine the neighborhood you
live in, the school or daycare your daughter will go to
and your family’s social circle.
• In some cases, your child may notice your buying
and spending habits and compare them with others
she knows, like her friends and their parents.
Depending on how she perceives these, she may
start feeling self-conscious.
• It is important you speak to your child about
finances and how there are things more important
than what money can buy.
4. Overcrowded Living Spaces
• The environment at your home and the relationship
with neighbors will also affect your child’s behavior.
• If you live in an environment that is overcrowded or is
too loud, it can negatively impact your child’s
personality.
• Too many members living in the same house can
reduce the time you spend with your child, as you will
be busy with others in the house. It could result in
your child resorting to other ways of keeping busy,
and distancing herself from you emotionally early in
life.
• Your child may also start to develop the willpower to
block out loud noises and conversations. If your child
is a shy person, she may retreat more into her shell.
• Make sure you take out enough time to be with your
child. If you cannot find the time and space at home,
take her out for a walk or engage in some sports or
activity that you two can enjoy together.
5. A Learning Environment
• You will be your child’s first teacher, so it is
crucial you create an environment that
stimulates and aids her skill development.
• A positive and relaxed environment at
home will help your child concentrate on
studies and learn better.
• You and your spouse should create
opportunities that allow your child to
explore, even within the home.
• Always encourage your child to ask
questions and look for solutions. It will
help her gain more knowledge

the best environment as we can
