Document Summary

Hltb02 - the biological embedding on earth experience and its. Evidence from longitudinal studies shows that early child development and the socioeconomic and psychosocial environment of childhood are empirically linked to adult health status. Attention has been paid to the ways in which this last link occurs. Latent effects can be difficult to disentangle from pathway effects. This is because the pathways model acknowledges that differences in early life environment may direct children onto different life courses. The prevalence of aggressive behavior in childhood does not peak in the teenage years as is commonly thought, but rather by 24 months of age. the principal opportunity for socializing nonaggressive behavior falls between age two and five. In turn, lack of school readiness leads to an increased risk of failure to adjust to school as well as academic failure. Behavioral problems and failure in school lead to low levels of mental well-being in early adulthood.
