Activity Seven:

Cultural ingredients and outcomes

Within each dimension, children's development is shaped by their culture. Cultural ingredients and outcomes can be seen within each dimension. For example, moral ingredients lead to moral outcomes for the child. Sexual ingredients lead to sexual outcomes.
