Key influences on childrens development-
Health
Diet
Opportunities vor play, stimulation and exercise
Discrimination
Family circumstances
Parents and other adults
Faulty genetic information
Pregnancy i.e smoking, drugs, alcohol, maternal infections - Rubella
Premature birth/ complicated birth i.e not breathing straight away or injury during birth.
Health can affect childrens development by; children who feel unwell or have ongoing medical conditions may not feel like playing or their condition may restrict what they can do, this means they miss out on the benefits of physical play on development or thye may find it harder to make friends because they miss sessions or cannot join in physically, meaning their social development suffers.
etc.
Hope this helps
