The term PATH STARTER is composed of three words, HOMEO (5 letters), OSTEO (5 letters), and SOCIO (5 letters). HOMEO is derived from the Greek word for 'SAME' and refers to the study of the home environment and its effects on behavior. OSTEO is derived from the Greek word for 'BONE' and refers to the study of the skeletal system and its functions. SOCIO is derived from the Latin word for 'SOCIETY' and refers to the study of social relationships and their effects on behavior. Together, these three terms form the basis of the PATH STARTER program, which focuses on the interplay between the home, the body, and SOCIETY in order to promote healthy development.
