Microsystems – these are the institutions and groups that most directly impact the child's development and include family, school, community, and peers 2. Mesosystem - this refers to the relations between the different Microsystems, for instance the relation between th parents and the teachers/ school; or between the parents and the church, and so forth. These contexts too effect the child. 3. Exosystem - an external system of another may impact one of the ecosystems (or microsystems) of the child. For instance, the mother's work may impact the child's family life, or a teacher's challenging domestic situation may influence her teaching hence impacting child. 4. Macrosystem – this is the wider culture in which the child lives. These include developing and industrialized countries, socioeconomic status, poverty, and ethnicity . The larger cultural context shares a common identity and shapes thoughts, behavior, feelings of the child. The macrosystem also changes gradually and subtly over time due to its own often indiscernible influences. (Kail, & Cavanaugh, 2010). 5. Chronosystem: The external sociohistorical and personal events that happen to the child that impact him. For instance, divorce may negatively impact the child, particularly during the first year.
