Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi guys,

The question I'm in need of help with is ;

List 3 socio-cultural factors that may delay the development of self-help skills.



So I don't have a clue how I am supposed to answer this question. I can see that it is leading towards the difference in opinions when it comes to different cultures and child rearing practices but that is about it.

Much appreciated

I found some info about socio-cultural factors on self help skills:

It is important to note that not all children progress at the same speed and that in some cases it may be seen as inappropriate for children to learn certain skills. There are cultures in which children do not learn to dress themselves until they are older, and there are cultures in which only children of one gender learn certain skills. In most cases, it is less important when a child learns these skills than it is that the child becomes a fully socialized human being in his or her own culture.
