Describe The Factors That Contribute To The Positive And Negative Development Of Children

There are many factors that can contribute to the positive and negative development of a child in regards to a care giving setting. Child supervision can take place in multitude of scenarios. In general it is the quality of care, not type that fosters positive outcomes. “The quality of infant care may be pivotal for development, whether it comes from mothers, fathers, other relatives, or professional providers. No single type of day care has proven to be best (Berger, 2011, p. 150).” In one study accessing the quality of professional daycare conducted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) took three elements into consideration; child-to-adult ratios, group size, and the level of training/education of the staff.
