Question

Whether people’s perspective on development leans toward nature or nurture it will affect their child rearing. For example, if a parent feels intelligence is inherited they will handle their child’s education differently than someone who feels it is based upon environmental factors. Think about your own development, were there any areas that were influenced by your guardian’s belief in nature or nurture? Think about the realms of academics, sports, non-academic subjects, music, art, etc. that may have been impacted.

Explanation / Answer

I believe that my development was completely influenced by my parents’ belief in nature. I would observe many of my peers around me attending several classes and practice sessions for music, art or sports but my parents never encouraged me to develop any of these skills. Rather, I was interested in music so I asked my parents for a guitar and learned the instrument by myself. Even when it came to academics, I recall being an independent learner from a very early age. I do feel, however, that I may have possessed many potentialities that would never see the light of day because they are not encouraged and simply expected to realise themselves.
