Choose from: early childhood, middle childhood, and/or adolescence. Be sure your discussion includes the following elements:

• Explain why at least one psychosocial, one cultural, and one environmental factor (at each stage) is important for professionals to consider in the context of early life development.
• Explain at least two interventions that may be utilized to address psychosocial and environmental challenges in one of the identified stages.

After finishing the discussion by applying one of the psychosocial and environmental challenges to your specialization or area of professional interest. How might a person you work with in the future be affected by a psychosocial or environmental challenge that occurred during early childhood, middle childhood, and/or adolescence? What are some of the key cultural considerations that may impact the development of persons you work with in the future as well?

After finishing the discussion, respond to at least two of your peers. Include any suggestions you might have of how future clients could be affected by psychosocial or environmental challenges. Add any additional questions you might have along with supportive academic resources.
