Parents, peers, and teachers are all major influences in the development of a child. During the early years in life, a parent plays a major role in development by providing nutritional physical, cleanliness, and socializing. This is the infants first interaction with other humans and what they base their movements off of. Peers may be introduced earlier than school by utilizing play dates with the parents's friends children, or by introducing a new sibiling to the child; however, entry into preschool is one of the first outside developments of socialization in a child and overtime, peers can have a considerable influence, especially during adolescense and puberty. The influence peers have in the development of a child are the improvement of cognitive, physical, and socialization. Once a child reaches puberty, suddenly his or her peers take precedence over parental influence. Students rely on each other more, and they are also developing sexually. At this time, the relation of peer-to-peer is high because at this age, it is easier to relate to people who are going through similar developments then older individuals. At this time, Parents can ensure proper development by providing a proper diet and possibly physical activity and socializing with their teen to keep up a positive communication with them to ensure social development. Teacher's role in development is like the middle man. They are the connection the parents have inside school to ensure the development of their child, mentally, physically, nutritionally, and socially.
