Interdependent: how the child and the environment influence each other stresses how nature and nurture work together (reciprocal) Transaction: dynamic interaction between child and environment both are active contributors: 3. Few psychological disorders or impairments suddenly emerge without at least some warning signs or connections to early development issues.
