Analysis Of My Virtual Life Simulation Program

In conclusion of the My Virtual Life Simulation Program, I raised Luciano, my male child, until he reached the age of 18 years old. Luciano came about the world normally through a natural birth; labor lasted about 10 hours. Luciano inherited 50% of my characteristics through the survey taken prior to the start of the simulation. The other half was through the actions and changes that occurred throughout his life by the choices of my virtual partner and I and Luciano’s personal decisions later on in life. Certain characteristics Luciano developed resulted directly from the authoritative parenting style I chose to follow throughout the simulation. Despite minor setbacks towards the beginning, Luciano, developed properly in his psychological development which involved his physical, cognitive, social, and moral development, personality, emotional understanding, and peer competence. In the beginning years of his life he endured minor academic problems but later had no issue and was even involved in honor classes. He was also very social having

By the end of the simulation, he was more than capable to take on any obstacle the world had in store if this was real-life and not a virtual simulation. Authoritative parenting allows for children to have higher cognitive and social competence as well as other benefits. It is also advantageous because it encourages and permits autonomy, contains rules and sanctions when necessary, promotes open communication, and recognizes the rights of both children and parent (Dornbusch, 1987). With the aid of peer-reviewed articles, the following paper will assess the effects that authoritative parenting has on the development of children, especially in regards to my virtual child and the My Virtual Life Simulation, factors and theories contributing to and involved in child development and the effects of
