My Virtual Teen Reflection Assignment Questions

1. Mia is very active for her age, and seems to enjoy this fact. Mia goes on nature hikes for fun and is not reluctant to doing so. Mia has also showed great skill in all of the sports that she has been involved with. She has been playing softball since the age of six, and has recently joined the high school softball team. She enjoys playing the sport and appears to be very good at it. Mia also seems to be open to new forms of activity, it is noticed that she has started to play tennis with an aunt that lives nearby and Mia enjoys this experience (Manis, 2006). Mia seems to excel at everything she puts her mind to, and she acts appropriately when life presents new challenges for her. She shows great purpose in all of her practices and I believe that this attitude will allow her to succeed in areas of her interest.

2. There have never been any dramatic changes in my teen’s behavior towards me or my partner. However, there have been minor instances where Mia has been …show more content…
Mia has adjusted to the issues of risk-taking, drugs, alcohol, and sexual interests by experience. She has been caught drinking with friends, but seemed to feel guilty about it. Acknowledging that this is not acceptable at the time she was caught will hopefully deter her from continuing negative actions. Mia has a respect for her parents and does not want to disappoint us. This is apparent when noting that she got in a minor accident and was afraid to admit it (Manis, 2006). By addressing the fact that being open about failing is acceptable, she will hopefully be more honest in the future. It is important to let Mia know that rules are set in place, and the she will be punished for breaking them, but I try to be understanding and fair as situations present themselves. Mia seems to respond to this by respecting her parents’ decisions, but she still messes up from time to time, which is expected and not punished

    Jessica IEP Transition

    At the moment, the assessments she has taken in the areas of independent living and mobility shows a great deficiency. If her parents would like to see her one day go off to college they should focus on those areas with the IEP team. Some of the ways the lack of independent living and mobility may be enhanced is by teaching her bus routes and asking her parents to give her chores at home. Also, it is important to give her the opportunity to work with her interest so she may excel at a career one day. For example, she loves to work with flowers maybe volunteering in a community garden will be…

    Virtual Child Ages 11-16

    Adolescence is defined as the transition between childhood and adulthood. Many changes happen at this stage. Adolescence involves things such as puberty, greater independence, and a time when someone begins to construct their identity. Identity means their life value and goals including a secure sense of who they are in terms of sexual, vocational, and moral ethics. In the next few paragraphs I will be discussing my Virtual Child, Maeve as she went through adolescence (ages 11- 16). I am going to delve into the different changes I saw in her and how they relate to theories proposed by Piaget, Erikson, Marcia, and Gardner. Each theory deals with development through adolescence and will help give a better understanding of this time in Maeve’s life.…

    Personal Reflective Essay: My Virtual Child

    My Virtual child, Anabia, was born naturally. I decided to breastfeed her because that would help me to have a secure attachment with her. However, we also decided to supplement her with formula. To make her interested in her surroundings, I talked to her, hold her, and interact with her whenever she seemed interested. By the age of 3 months, she was showing more intense interest in her surroundings. She was generally calm and easy to soothe a child. If she woke up crying at night, me or my partner respond to her persisted crying. Since Anabia was a curious baby, we took her outside more to relatives and friends’ house so that she gets along well with new people. I noticed that she was learning a thing or two, I started to show her interesting objects such as rattle, mobiles and stuffed toys to understand which one she is interested in and reaching out for…

    Anne Tyler Teenage Wasteland

    Though most teenagers are hormonal, moody, and most of all temperamental, they are often misunderstood. Teenagers go through a series of changes and emotional states. More often than not, parents do not realize the repercussions their actions could have on their child. In the story, “Teenage Wasteland” by Anne Tyler, Donny is lackadaisical in his school work which is deleterious to his overall grade. Daisy, his mother, tries to salvage his grade by taking extreme measures. She goes from one bad idea to another in hopes of changing his faineant behavior.

    Substance Abuse Case Studies

    With a history of drug and alcohol abuse in her family, having been exposed in utero, and witnessing it at a young age from her own mother, the daughter developed her addictions, meth being the most serious of them. Countless trips to rehab, jail, and even the birth of her own children could not sway her away from the needle. Coming from a home where it was always a “look out for yourself” mentality, it would be understandable that she would not see her actions as harmful to others around her, since she had always been on her and had to always look out for…

    virtual child

    1) One of the main activities that I believe that has promoted healthy behavioral practices and interest in physical activities is when we routinely take Jessica for walks to the park and continue to encourage her with age appropriate activities with her friends. When we take Jessica to the zoo and the park, she continuously asks questions and is very intrigued on why things happen. My partner and I physically interact with Jessica as much as possible. When she is trying to solve a problem and gets frustrated, we sit down and ask her questions that could help her figure it out on her own on how to solve it. Now because we always encourage Jessica to take part in activities with fellow peers at school she has developed the ability to work cooperatively in groups, consistently respects rights and possessions of others, and consistently demonstrates appropriate peer social interaction. We are very pleased with Jessica’s progress with activities, but we did have one area for concern. My partner was at school one day helping out with recess and noticed that the boys usually engage in physical activities in fairly large groups and keep the girls out. The girls tend to have small groups or even just one-on-one interactions. Jessica is able to play with both boys and girls, but mostly plays with girls. One experience that we had was Jessica and her friend left school at lunch undetected and went to a friends house, where they were not home. I believe that because Jessica has been experiencing some limitations between boys and girls, and was not cognitively able to decipher that the action of leaving school undetected is very dangerous and unacceptable. If she was in a bigger crowd with a variety of boys and girls, she may have learned that it not ok to leave because others have put in their input by saying “no we can’t leave” instead of always hanging around a certain individual who could see no…
