Activity 5: Developmental Psychology

This activity reminded me of how much a learner's environment can affect his/ her life as well as performance within the school arena. Whenever children lack emotional, social,psycho-social support these can seriously affect a student academic performance. In addition, when a child is expose to an unhealthy environment  which there is no educational or moral support from there parent ot guardian these can cause students to have difficulty in learning, this can also lead to further behavioural problems which may be difficult to curb since students may feel demotivated and have a very low self esteem.
