This interactive simulation offers students the opportunity to act as a parent and raise a virtual child. By making decisions about specific scenarios, students raise their child from birth to age 18 and see how their own decisions and parenting actions affect their child over time. At each age, students are given feedback about the various milestones their child has attained. As in real life, certain "unplanned" events may randomly be presented for students. Key stages of the child's development will include personalized feedback. To view a 3 minute walkthrough of MyVirtualChild visit www.mydevelopmentlab.com and click on "Tours and Training".

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a great interactive tool

I purchased this as a student, and actually had my teacher reset the program for me at the end of the class, so I could go through it again. It is a great interactive tool, that allows you to make parenting choices about a virtual child, and see the outcome. This program gives choices based off of information given by the user at the beginning of the program about the user's development, and then gives choices based off of several parenting styles.

Worth it to save ten bucks rather than buy instant access through myvirtualchild. Using this for a class and it worked perfectly. Very interesting - I would have finished it if my professor had not put a cap on the progress you can make. Super fun and informative as well!

I had to take a child and adolescent psychology class and this was part of the course. It was an interesting way to have to raise a child. I was able to go from birth to 18 years and watch how "my child" grew up, by just answering some questions. As a parent it was fun to compare my real child to my virtual child. I recommend it to anyone taking this type of class.

This program is actually a lot of fun. I had to have it for my child psychology class. We only raised our children through age 12, but I may continue raising mine even though class is over now. It's very interesting to see how my parenting choices shaped my child, and how adjusting them for her issues helped.

Arrived on time! Only reason why it got 3 stars is because it’s very pricey. They should really make student books and codes affordable for students. I’m starting psychology on Monday! Excited/Nervous at the same time. Wish me luck! ☺️

4.0 out of 5 stars I Loved This
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

I needed this access code for my Life Span psychology course. Needless to say, I was addicted to this program. I loved making decisions for my child and watching them grow up. It's an excellent supplement for any life span course. After reading about child development, using the virtual child program allows you to practice the knowledge you've obtained during your course. I hate paying for an access code, but this one I really enjoyed. It was also more cost efficient than the one at my university. I leave off one star because I had to pay over $50 for an access code which always annoys me to pay for an 18 digit code that my university should provide as much as I am paying for my degree. Anyways, happy parenting!
