Parents should also be deeply involved in creating family care that provides proper physical, emotional, social language, cognitive and moral development of their children. That's why parent should always keep track on what the teachers and Leaner.\' are doing while in school. The environment in 1rhich the child is brought up also matters a lot. The child's surrounding will affect the growth but they will even have much greater effects on other impacts of development. Therefore, the environmental factors include where the child lives, who looked after him, whether he is loved and wanted, the sort of' companion he has, 1vhether he is encouraged to learn, the food they eat all contribute a lot on the development of a child holistically.
