Dr R. Carson is most likely a proponent of ecological theory. Ecological theory or ecological systems theory is used to explain how the inherent qualities of a child (their innate nature) and their environment (culture, society, external forces) interact to influence how a child will grow and develop. It believes that nature and nurture both play a role in the development of the child's thoughts and behavior.
