Heredity All the traits and properties that are passed along biologically from both parents to child. Hair color Eye color Height Body type Facial features Body size

Behavior Unlike heredity and environment, you can control behavior. You have a choice as to what you choose to do. You can reduce your chances by acting in positive ways such as not participating in risky behaviors. Risky behaviors can include smoking, drinking, speeding and following an unhealthy diet.

Do you want to raise your children in this environment? Physical Environment Physical environment is the environment in which you live. Ask yourself this. How is your environment? What would you change? Do you want to raise your children in this environment? Are you safe?

Social Environment Social environment includes your family and other people with whom you come in daily contact. Is this a loving environment? Is this a healthy situation for you? Is it a supportive environment? Peers – people the same age who share a similar range of interest

What are some of your family traditions? Cultural Environment Culture – collective beliefs, customs and behaviors of a group These are all effected by culture: The food you eat The language you speak The religion you practice The traditions you follow What are some of your family traditions?

The effects of these habits accumulate over time, leading to serious health consequences. Examples include an individual who repeatedly gets sun burned and a frequent smoker or drinker.
