Human Growth and Development / Unit 4 HGD 0497 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Bronfenbrenner in Infancy
Captions available
The idea
Bronfenbrenner's systems reach even the youngest infants, and the layers stack: a change far out in one system can reach the infant through the others.
In practice
An economic downturn cutting jobs, straining caregivers and lowering the quality of parent–infant interaction.
Where people slip
A parent's workplace or the local school board belongs to the exosystem: it affects the infant without the infant being there.
