These studies show development and growth is usually positive and normal in a home environment where there is sufficient care and/or love and in an environment that positively motivates learning and development. Conversely, the problems that can be experienced in a dysfunctional family can lead to problems even later in life.

While environments do not solely determine the human identity and experience, they do exert an enormous influence on the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
