My virtual child's name is Dominic. He is a white man of average height and weight, with blond hair, green eyes, and pale skin. Cognitively, he appears younger than his chronological age until sixth grade. Physically, Dominic has always looked older than his chronological age. The first months of Dominic's life were sometimes difficult. I decided early on to feed myself with formula and respond to different types of cries. At three months he was crying after every bottle and having frequent diarrhea, so we decided to switch to a different formula rather than introducing food (My Virtual Child). The family dynamics of the household changed over the years of Dominic's childhood. When Dominic was born, we lived in a rural neighborhood apartment that wasn't completely safe (My Virtual Child). Once Dominic's sister, Alexandra, was born, we started saving more and bought a house in a safe rural neighborhood. By the end of Dominic's childhood, the household consisted of his two parents and two children, Dominic and Alexandra. Throughout his childhood, his uncle stayed for a summer, and on another occasion another uncle stayed for a few weeks. Both parents worked throughout their childhood, which allowed Dominic to be placed in daycare as early as possible (My Virtual Child). During the first nine months of Dominic's life, he was repeatedly sick with colds and digestive complications that are not typical of Dominic's life. infants. Physically, Dominic was active for the first nine months. At three months, he started laughing and focused his eyes on me, the mother (My Virtual Child). At eight months we were playing object permanence games which improved his cognitive development and at nine months Dominic was advanced...... middle of paper ......e (My virtual child). Dominic is able to read a few short words, write his name and most letters of the alphabet. The results also indicate that he is at an age-appropriate level of phonological awareness and that his language development is average in terms of vocabulary and story telling (My Virtual Child). Cognitively, Dominic is not interested in small art projects and becomes frustrated when working with blocks and shapes. Dominic is also behind mathematically when it comes to counting, identifying quantitative relationships, and classifying objects (My Virtual Child).
