To complete this essay, you need to: -

Read thoroughly about Ecological theory to understand how children's learning of behaviours is shaped by their surrounding environments at FIVE different levels - the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the macrosystem, and the chronosystem, of the Ecological theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1970).

Analyse how Mathew's behaviours are shaped by the environmental factors such as parents' leniency or poor instructions or his temperament or cultural expectations that it is ok for boys to be boisterous and unruly and so on.

While you do not know about Mathew's culture or his medical or additional needs, you could presume that his behaviours may have been related to his parents' cultural expectations or medical or other additional needs.

If you are going to include those factors that are not obvious in the clip, you then need to support such assumptions with recent and relevant published literature. Reflect on the impact of Mathew's challenging behaviours on his learning, health, wellbeing and development.

In other words, clearly identify the risk factors in his environment. Also, identify the environmental factors that are helping Mathew to learn positive behaviours and are conducive to his physical or mental health and wellbeing, development and learning.

Choose TWO environments that are relevant to Mathew's scenario from the five systems outlined in the Ecological theory which are: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1970) and discuss the impact of these factors in depth in your essay. Analyse how educators could use the specific knowledge of the selected environmental factorsin planning for guiding Mathew positively in an early child setting.

Use credible literature in your discussion, i.e. refer to journal articles, textbooks and do not use general websites or parenting sites or blogs. Use APA style of referencing throughout in your essay, for both in text citation and for the reference list.
