By 'development' you mean child development?

If so then think about each:
social- family structure, parents ages (very young/old), extended family, family issues (addictions, dependencies, SEN and disabilities) family routines or lack of, childcare situations, siblings or lack of, social interaction opportunities, transitions.
economic- parents out of work, low incomes, family struggling to afford to buy the basics
environmental- think about child's environment, their home, resources at home, quality of housing, outdoor spaces

Chose a few scenarios and write about how they could affect a child's development- positive and negative.

its asking you how family background factors influence the development of the child, For example, a poor economic situation, such as lack of regular, adequate income within the family , may have implications for child health, stemming from poor access to nutritious foods, health, and medical services; inadequate or unhealthy housing; and poor access to clothing and heating. These factors may, in turn, affect a child’s physical and mental development, and may also affect their wellbeing. also think about family make up, support from extended family, housing issues.
