K2D45 K2D46 Holistic Children’s Development

K2D45 – Children’s development is holistic and each area is interconnected.

K2D46 – That children develop at widely different rates, but in broadly the same sequence.

Nature V Nurture

Are we born genetically programmed or because of our experiences?

I feel that it is both nature and nurture that play an important role, but however I also believe that the environment, influences and care can be a deciding factor.

We are all made up from our parent’s genes inheriting:

• Physical traits.
• Personality traits.
• Inherited illnesses.
• Characteristic.

We are all made up from our nurturing:

• Influences.
• Cultural influences.
• Environment.
• Social factors.
• Care.
• Experiences.

In conclusion I feel that they have an effect on the child in equal amounts.  Whilst inherited traits give a grounding in personality and ability, social factors such as extreme poverty will have a major effect on how the children will grow up.
