A. Familial/Sociocultural influence on Biological Development: Diet and exercise

My parents are very health conscious and our diet mainly consist of lean meat, vegetables and fruits. We also have a family runs during the weekends to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Such influence allowed me to have more stamina during playtime activities and build muscles faster.

B. Familial/Sociocultural influence on Cognitive Development: Parenting Style

Since I'm from a family that is academically oriented and also Asians, we value having good grades. Whenever I got home from school, my parents would give me a book to read for the whole week and I would have to report back what I have understand. This developed my logical and critically thinking skills in a much younger age.

C. Familial/Sociocultural influence on Socioemotional Development: Religion

Being raised as a Christian, I was influenced to believe that being kind to others and having empathy is a much greater response to any kind of situation. We were thought to give than receive and help people in need like how we do our annual donation drives to our community.
