As a part of child psychology one need to understand that the environment a child has at home indeed has an effect on the child. It may be a different effect for different children and cannot be figured as a shared effect in a behavior and genetics analysis. Parenting contributes to a lifestyle that directs into the language, general knowledge, reading and math skills that a child starts with at the school. The importance of understanding the child from his standpoint cannot be ignored. It is the child's developing perspective of himself or herself and his or her world that is the foundation for the way he or she responds to the environment. These methods can be successfully applied to problems in the three important areas that contribute to psychosocial development for the school-aged child. These areas are the family, school, and peers. Remember, one need to stop all criticism of the child and communicate faith in the child and encourage any step the child takes to try something, no matter how small or trivial it is. As a parent or teacher, it is important to set up opportunities for the child which will translate into success.
