Hi, I have just written this up - (literally)
I have put that all influences can affect childs development and listed some of the influences. - gender, cultural, disability etc
Then taken a couple of examples (you can't go into all of them) and said -
that a child who for example attended playgroup, nursery before going onto school will have more advanced social skills/confidence amongst children than a child that has spent the first years with just adult company.
Then given an example of a child that has disability and that a disability may influence development by...........
i finished it by saying how at my setting, we allow for these influences and what we do to give all children same opportuities - planning, observations etc to be aware of any areas need help with.
Like I said I have just written this up so do not know if I am on the right track - but its as I understood it. Hope this helps and is right
