Exosystems
The exosystem contains the environments where a child is not directly
involved or present such as a parent's workplace, extended family and
neighbors, government, and mass media.
Scenario
Parents had a dispute with their boss at work.
Explanation
If one of the parents had a disagreement with their supervisor at work,
exosystems could have an impact on the child's development. As a result of
something that happened at work, the parent may return home and have a
bad temper with the child, thus impacting the child's development.
The exosystem can be any setting in which a child does not directly engage
but yet has an effect on his or her existence. Because the infant has no
engagement with the ruling entities, they are considered part of the
exosystem. Government decisions, on the other hand, can have a significant
impact on a child's life.
