It is known that the development of children in their early years lays the foundation for their future physical, cognitive and social skills. It is, therefore, vital to understand how children grow and what influences their growth. Research has found four key factors affecting early childhood development. Many of children's characteristics such as body shape, eyes and hair colours, complexion, intelligence, and some diseases are passed down through genes. Although it is impossible to change the natural colours of their hair, eyes and skin, other elements can be improved through nurture and training. Any factors in the surrounding environment in which children are brought up can affect their development and growth. The amount of sunshine and rainfall in the area, the level of pollution, the geographical conditions as well as the social network and relationships around a child can have a profound impact on their health, cognition and social skills. A balanced and nutritious diet rich in protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and fat is essential for a healthy brain and body. Both malnutrition and overeating can cause serious health problems and bring about detrimental effects on children's growth in the long run. The family plays a critical role in the way a child develops socially and psychologically. Parents' investment in time, attention and energy to provide diverse activities, meaningful play and deep conversations contributes to the most favourable outcomes for children. In contrast, children who suffer from neglect and abuse at home may have poor social skills and difficulties in bonding with others. (Adapted from C21 Smart) ‘ Question 23.
