Virtual Child Reflection

Throughout the course of the Virtual Child assignment I learned about how different parenting styles can affect children. I decided before raising my child that I wanted to mimic my parent’s style that they had used. I am an only child and my parents were strict and demanding, yet that taught me how to be determined and responsible. On January 25, 2016 at 8:34 AM I gave birth to my virtual child Amelia (Manis, 2008). My spouse and I chose the name Amelia based on the strong characteristics of Amelia Earhart.

The last bite is given as well as altering one’s life style to insure the child has no needs. This could mean getting rid of negative, toxic people who could pose as a threat or even a sleeping pattern may need to be altered. However, the child comes first and the mothers wants are secondary.

During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.

The advanced technology in the home is to blame for the parent’s deaths because the technology was addicting and dangerous. In “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, George and Lydia decide to buy a house with advanced technology. Their kids, Wendy and Peter play in a virtual reality room called the nursery. One day, the parents notice that the kids were playing with lions in the nursery. They decide that playing with lions can be dangerous and come to the conclusion that they need a break from the technology.

Clearly, Jeannette’s mother neglects her daughter by not providing any food for her. Instead, Jeannette’s mother should be making meals for her daughter and watching her. Having to cook for herself helps Jeannette develop independence for the ability to cook among other skills.

Throughout the story, there are subtle hints suggesting Caroline subconsciously or genetically mimics certain behavioral similarities exhibited by her birth mother. Barring disease, certainly, the topic of personality formation is interesting to ponder in fiction or in reality. Ultimately, as a society, in relation to adoption, discussions can become destructive. Each day, in the United States, more than 400,000 children are in foster care, many of these youngsters eventually become available for adoption.

I want to start about by saying I enjoyed the My Virtual Child program. There is nothing I disliked about it When I learned we would be doing this program for the class I was very excited! It was everything I thought it would be. I say this because it was more so hands on and it connected my readings in the book to what might be going on with an actual child in real life.

The first-born children have a certain identity because of the way their parents raised them. The mother and father both have most likely never raised a child before, and are therefore very over-protective and concerned about everything their child does. For example, Gross shows how parenting affects a first-borns identity when she states, “Because they have so much control and attention from their first-time parents, they are over-responsible, reliable, well-behaved, careful and smaller versions of their own parents.” The first child develops an identity based on how his or her mother and father are paying attention to every single move the child makes.

One of the most important factors that affect a child 's development is the relationship and attachment of the child with their primary caregiver. John Bowlby studied the development of the child; he was interested in how childhood relationships affected kids as they grew older and became adults. He was also concerned with the relationship of the child and primary caregiver and how they interacted, and the effect this had on later life. Bowlby 's theory established that children’s earliest relationships shaped their later development and characterized their human life, "from the cradle to the grave"(Bowlby, 1998). The attachment style that an infant develops with their parent later reflects on their overall person.

The current study is the effects of exposure to technology on young children. As we become increasingly more reliant and absorbed in technology, it is no surprise that today’s children have become avid users as well (Hatch, 2011). Children at the age of three or four already have tablets, smart phones, and others; they could easily attain technologies and would even demand for one. As it makes easier for us, technology has both positive and negative impacts especially on young children. It comes with great opportunities but these opportunities likewise come with great risk
