He believed we should should see children in the context of five ideas of environments. The five environments are microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem.

Exosystem is the interaction a parent might have with the child. Macrosystem consist of different patterns like customs, beliefs and values. Lastly, chronosystem is when change can start to affect the person in different ways. Children are all raised in different places and in different ways. We all have different environments that can affect us in many ways good and
