. In what ways have factors from Microsystems outside the family, from the mesosystem, and the exosystem possibly influenced your child’s development at ages 6, 8 and 10? Find four examples of such influences and make clear why you believe they should be categorized at the particular level you chose within Bronfenbrenner’s model. For example, you could choose two microsystems (e.g., classroom and peer group), one mesosystem (parent-peer relations or parent teacher relations) and one exosystem (something affecting the parent directly but the child only indirectly, through the parent.

Could someone please explain the question to me?

The question gives examples of microsystems, mesosystems, and exosystems as they apply to children.

Use those to explain how each of these affects children at the given ages.

Could you do example for me Mrs.Sue

At the age of 6, the child has been mostly influenced by his family, part of the microsystem. He's spent most of his time with his parent(s) and sibling(s). After he starts preschool or kindergarten, his classmates often show him different ways of meeting life. He then begins to correlate what he's learned at home with what he's learning from his peer group.

I still don't understand the question

Certainly! This question is related to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, which suggests that a child's development is influenced by various levels of environments around them. Bronfenbrenner's model consists of different levels: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. The microsystem refers to the immediate environments that directly interact with the child, such as family, school, and peers. The mesosystem involves the connections and relationships between different microsystems in the child's life. The exosystem includes external settings that indirectly impact the child's development, such as the parent's workplace or community. Lastly, the macrosystem encompasses cultural, societal, and ideological factors.

In this question, you are asked to consider how factors from these different levels (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem) have influenced your child's development at ages 6, 8, and 10. You need to identify four specific examples of influences from these levels and explain why you believe they should be categorized at the particular level chosen within Bronfenbrenner's model. The examples can include factors from your child's immediate family, school, peer group, parent-peer relations, parent-teacher relations, or something affecting the parent directly but impacting the child indirectly.

To answer the question, you will need to reflect on the various environments and relationships your child has been exposed to during these ages and analyze how they may have influenced their development.
