from the child. The microsystem is the layer that is closest to the child and has the direct contact with the children. This system basically entails the child’s immediate surroundings such as family‚ school‚ neighborhood‚ and daycare etc. Bronfenbrenner notes that the bi-directional influences are strongest and have the greatest impact on the child within the microsystem.

This is based on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological system of human development. Uri Bronfenbrenner 1979 (Jack‚2003‚ p.55) was the first to conceive an ‘ecology of human development’ that would consist of a nested arrangement of systems (meso system‚ exo system‚ macros system) with each system embedded within the one following it.’ (Jack 2001)

Urie Bronfenbrenner developed a model called the “Ecological Systems Theory” that attempts to explain what factors influence a person’s behavior and which ones have the most impact. The model is broken down into five systems: the “Microsystem”‚ “Mesosystem”‚ “Exosystem”

Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory holds that human development is influenced by five different types of environmental systems; these systems are also referred to as rings. The two environmental rings or systems that influenced my development the most are the Microsystem and Macrosystem. According to Brendtro (2006)‚ “Predictable developmental milestones include normal life transitions such as starting school or getting a job‚ but many developmental challenges result from random‚ unplanned events”
