Both nature and nurture create completely different outcomes in terms of a child's development. The nature of children includes the "windows of opportunity" that children may have to grow. Nurture is using those windows to help children develop properly.

Nature and nurture work together to influence the growth and development of a child. The influences of both nature and nurture are linked in ways that affects the outcomes of each factor's independent influence.Nature refers to the biology and neuropsychology of brain development. It might include genetic factors that may predispose an individual towards certain tendencies, behaviors, or other proclivities. Nurture refers to our environment and experiences as we live and grow.

The brain is biologically formed to grow and develop; however, the brain develops through experiences that spark the connections in the brain. So we as caregivers need to make sure that we are creating a environment in which a child can have those experience that will help him/ her grow.

There are different influences on child development in relation to nature and nurture. These influences are biological, environmental, societal, and cultural. Nature is responsible for the biological influences.
Both genetic factors (nature) or environmental factors (nurture) are important in child’s development. Nature refers to biological or hereditary information that affects child development and learning.
Nurture refers to the day to day interactions children encounter in their environment.

Nature is what a child is born with, biology and heredity and nurture is the child's environment, relationships and experiences. Relationships and experiences are how children learn, without nurture a child will not grow in the way a child who is nurtured will. It is crucial that children are nurtured in order for them to learn and grow.

Both nature and nurture -- that is to say both biology and environment -- are inextricable linked when it comes the development of children. Biology has its influence through genetics, which wire the brain and body to develop in certain ways. But environment, including relationships and interactions, shapes what this development looks like.

Nature is the person's genetics, this is the working framework from which neural connections can start to be mapped. Nurture is the Child's environment, caregivers, and stimuli. Nurture is what triggers and builds off of the framework created by nature. The two together will map out the brains development.

Nature is brain programing that is established by DNA. Nuture involves building the brain pathways that help create connections for brain development. Nuture can both greating support and positiviy impact the development of the brain. Nuture or lack there of can negatively impact that development of the brain, creating less pathways for learning . A rich caring environment that provides serve and return interactions, a consisten care providers, and senosry explorations can greatly impact a child's brain development - all part of a nurturing environment. Lack of interaction, stimuli and a healthy attachment can determinatlally affect brain development.

Brain development research has demonstrated the influence of both nature and nurture on the child’s ability to develop, learn, and succeed in life. The brain is biologically formed to grow and develop; however, the brain develops through experiences that spark the connections within the brain. The environment and experience are responsible for fine-tuning the connections within the brain that provides the child with permanent learning.

1) Explain the influence of nature and nurture on a child’s development.

The nature refers to the brain's wiring and the child's genetic and physiological capacity to learn and absorb information. The nurture is the interactions and experiences that trigger and ignite the capacity for brain development. Without the ongoing support of engaged caregivers (the nurture) the brain can not meet its innate physiological potential.
