How parenting style and culture can affect a child's development?

So, I am taking child development and school and we are learning all about that. Part comes from the enviorment(everything surrounding them, including the size and emotions) and the people around them. From the moment they are born there brains need to be stimulated, so the neurons can connect. This is done, by reading to them, talking to them, just very simple things like, but sitting there and having them watching blue's clues is not the same, because that is not one on one. it has to be one on one. Then there is the enviorment. the child needs to have space to explore and move around; if s/he is isolated, then that will also have a huge impact on there development. child development is most importent in the first 5 years of life. they will develop in 5 ways: emotionally, socially, morally, intellectally, and physicallly. Role playing (like playing school or house) allows them to groww emotionally and is really good for them, believe it or not. Around age for the social development becomes very important. around this age they should start playing with other children, not just around them. they should be learning the concepts of sharing and taking turns, and things of that nature. Moral development come mostly from the people around them. they learn from example and from you telling them no and why it is wrong, and then when they do it right(for instance, if your at a store and he puts something in his pocket, you simply say, no that's not ours, if you want you have to pay for, you can't just take. then later in the store, if he asks you to buy something, this shows that is starting to understand and he should be praised in some form) praise them. Physically. From when they are newborns to when they are 5, they will constanly be developing physically. when they are young, they should always sleep on their back, but when they are awake, you should keep them on their stomaches, so that they can learn to hold their head up and stregthen other muscles in their bodies. As they get other crawling and doing things with their finger, such as drawing or finger paints, will develop their motor skills. Finally, intellectally. this is probably the most important. these skills are very simple, and will help prepare them for there futures. they gain these skills from puzzles, book, games, block, very simple little things that allow them to imagine and create. development is diffferent for all child, but it follows a general path and is sequecel. they will crawl, before they walk, say words before sentaces, and so on. Development is all about stimulating the brain and allowing it to grow, so let them be dirty, let them be creative, they will thank you one day.How parenting style and culture can affect a child's development?
Tonight my son showed me videos on You Tube of ';Scared Kids';. It's heartbreaking child abuse! Parents trick their small children into watching a cute little something on the computer knowing a horrendous monster is about to scare the life out of them. These children are learning early in life that the keepers of your soul will betray you.


You bet it's affecting their development and scarring them for life and we wonder why there's mass murderers in the schools. Go figure....................How parenting style and culture can affect a child's development?
That's sad ( the first post).


I don't really know that parenting style can affect development except in extreme cases of abuse or neglect. And same with culture- there are extremes but for the most part people develop in the same way around the world and we all seem to be the same on the 'outside'. Parenting and culture can more so affect the 'inside'.
Hi,I too wanted to ask similar question.Thank you.
nurture verses nature wins out over nature over nurture
