What you teach your child
will not restrict her overall development. The environment your child grows up
in and things she sees around her will also influence her early learning. It
could be the ambiance at home, at school, at daycare, in the neighborhood and
any other areas where your child spends a considerable amount of time.
Here Are Environmental
Factors That Affect Your Child’s 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.
