This document outlines the five environmental systems that influence child development:
1) The microsystem includes a child's immediate surroundings like family and school that have a direct influence.
2) The mesosystem establishes connections between a child's different microsystems like how a child's home life and friends interact.
3) The exosystem deals with contexts not directly experienced by a child but that still impact them, such as a parent's workplace.
4) The macrosystem includes broader societal influences like culture, laws, and education that impact all systems.
5) The chronosystem encompasses transitions and events over a child's life, such as parental divorce or remarriage.

•This system is the closet to children and includes
their immediate surroundings. Important influences in the microsystem include family, neighborhood, and school.
• A system of people, groups, and institutions that
play an immediate and explicit role in a child's life.
Example: Me and my Family are always
getting along with my friends. MESOSYSTEM
•This system establishes connections between the
child's different microsystems.
•Is where a person's individual microsystems do
not function independently, but are interconnected and assert influence upon one another.
Example: Martha's Mom and Friends
are very close, Martha's mom always cooked a snack for her friends. EXOSYSTEM •The exosystem deals with environments that are not directly experienced by the individual, but are important environments for significant others, such as the target individual's parents, spouse, or friends. Such environments “external” to the developing individual are referred to as exosystems. MACROSYSTEM
•is the broad, all-encompassing influences that
impact the child and all the systems that surround the child.
•Several examples of macrosystems are the
education system, the law systems, the cultural systems, and the geographic location in which a child is raised. CHRONOSYSTEM
•is made up of the environmental events and
transitions that occur throughout a child's life, including any sociohistorical events.
Example:The divorce of parents or the
remarrying of a parent/s to another person. THANK YOU️!!!
