• Provide an overview, from an ecological perspective, of the predominant factors of family, society, and culture that could impact this child's development, including relevant examples from the case profile and supporting research evidence linked to those factors.

• Describe the general expectations for healthy development across developmental domains (cognitive, social and emotional, and physical) that should be evident as children transition from early to middle childhood. Link this description to child psychology developmental theories.
Case Analysis: Complete the following:

• Describe the primary developmental concern. Provide validation by including relevant examples from the case profile and links to supporting research evidence.

Conclusion: Complete the following:

• Summarize the developmental and contextual issues that are important in understanding this case. Using relevant examples from the case profile, provide suggestions for appropriate actions or interventions in home or school contexts.
