1. As the program ends, what pathways does your child appear to be on regarding physical, cognitive, social, emotional and moral development? (To receive maximum credit each pathway should be addressed in a separate paragraph, and examples from the Virtual Child program should be provided) Physical Development: When Rose was 10 she joined a travel team for swimming. As Rose started puberty at age 12 she started wearing a bra. Later on in her life, Rose made it into her high school swim team at age 14. At age 16, she was still in her high school swim team and even entered the water polo team. Rose’s physical development at age 18 is not explained in the program. Cognitive Development: At age 10, Rose is able to concentrate on tasks longer before. She also likes to read …show more content…

When Rose was 10, she would get into physical fights with her sister, Belle. By age 12 Rose starts coming home in a bad mood once in a while from school and locks herself in her room or watches TV; however, I recommend her to find an activity to do so her mind clears up. In 7th grade, Rose starts arguing more about teenage things like clothes, bedtime, and chores. At age 14, whenever Rose gets upset at me she gives me the silent treatment. Rose reached age 18 and is not as close to me as I would like but has followed my rules. Moral Development: At age 12 Rose started showing moral principals like fairness. Then during a trip with her school, one of the students stole something from a store and Rose at age 14 thought that it was right that he was punished because he didn’t live up to his expectations. Plus, if someone has a different viewpoint on religion or politics, Rose will usually speak up and tell her ideas. I think this shows a lot of courage for someone her age. However, Rose’s moral principles aren’t really good as she starts becoming independent. For example, she gets matching tattoos with her boyfriend at age

The death of her grandmother, although a tragedy in her life, gave purpose to her lifestyle and this was relieving to her. The teenage girl maturing from a rebellious odd member of her family to an affectionate care-giving young lady is very much so a lesson well learned. After the good overcame the bad, she then noticed all of her wrong doings and problems. She may have put herself in most of the predicaments she was in, and it could be blamed on abusive parenting or the siblings that often mistreated her.

Lily’s insecurity is displayed through her actions in school when encountering the more popular girls, “I started picking scabs off my body and, when I didn’t have any, gnawing the flesh around my fingernails until I as a bleeding wreck” (Kidd 9). For instance, Lily’s act of shying away from others and picking at her scabs helped to emphasize her discomfort when people she considered her betters, in style at least, surrounding Lily and reminding her about her own less than satisfactory personal looks. Furthermore, her self-consciousness, along with her inborn daringness led her to run away from home, and take Rosaleen with her. In brief, the lack of parental guidance for Lily led her to be slightly unstable, and embarrassed about herself in general led her to run away from home, and the instability caused her to start stealing and lying.

Although Rose was always pushing her daughters to get better and strive to be the best they surprisingly could still relate very well to each other. It was presented that Rose had developed this goal to make her daughter a star because of how her life had gone when she was the same age. She was trying to make sure her daughter would get a better opportunity then her as a performer and as a result live a better life. I think that the play was directed very well it never really dragged on and was able to keep me interested to know what was going to happen in the end. I really liked the part where the kids were performing and they time lapsed it and switched in the adults showing the years passing.

Jeanette Walls in The Glass Castle grew up in an abnormal, unstable environment that she didn’t realize was odd until she was exposed more to the real world. What I love the most is that she told “her truth”. Not only did she do what’s best for her, but Jeannette came to an understanding of where her parents wanted to be. What makes me intrigued about these particular texts is that “coming of age” can have many different aspects and

The first session began with a snack and journaling. The journaling prompt this morning began with “if and when I raise children, I’ll never…” This was a really interesting topic for the children because they all had strong opinions about what they would or wouldn’t do if they ever have their own children. Many responses involved refraining from abusing their children, making sure their children do well in school, and always making sure their children feel wanted and loved in their home.
