P2 – Explain the potential effects of five different life factors, on the development of an individual
There are different factors that can influence a person development. When a person is developing that are different biological and environment factors that can determinate the way they are, how they act and how they develop. It all depends on a combination of both biological inheritance and the environment influences. In this assignment I will talk about how five different factors affect an individual development.
During pregnancy that are existing factors that can affect the development of the foetus and that can bring health and other problems when the child is born, which the child can carry for the rest of her/his life, these biological influences before birth can determinate our development throughout our life. Examples of this can be a mother that smoke’s while she is pregnant are more likely to have a child who weight less than normal and also the child might have learning difficulties. If a mother consume a large amount of alcohol it can affect the child as well, the consequences of heavy consumption of alcohol during pregnancy in the child are, they tend to be smaller and have head smaller than normal, also heart defects and learning difficulties, the consumption of drugs during pregnancy can also damage child in the womb.
Infections can be very dangerous for the mother as well for the foetus, which can bring a bad effect on the child development. Some infections such as Rubella can cause impaired hearing or eye sight or even a damaged heart, other infections such as cytomegalovirus can cause deafness and learning difficulties. These infections can affect a child development and can cause other problems such as how they are treated by society because of these disabilities they pursued. This is why is important for expectant mothers to be vaccinated against these diseases to prevent the risks.
