    Introduction to Influences on Development

    A child's relationships with family members shape how he experiences relationships outside the home. "What young children learn, how they react to events and people around them, and what they expect from themselves, and others are deeply affected by their relationships with parents, the behavior of parents, and the environment of the homes in which they live" (Shonkoff and Phillips 2000).[2]
