Overview
Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Systems Theory
Bronfenbrenner's theory proposes that child development is made up biological traits and a complex system of relationships between the child and others, the child and their environment, and the relationships that do not involve the child but affect the child's life. These factors influence the child's habits, interactions with others, and personal values and beliefs.
