Welcome to
Developing Lives

Welcome to Developing Lives! You_re about to take on the exciting responsibility of raising your very own imaginary child.

You_ll have the opportunity to apply the key concepts you_re learning about child development as you tackle some serious life events and bring up your very own imaginary child.

Starting with prenatal development, you_ll experience both the joys and challenges of raising a baby until he or she grows into your very own young adult. Hang on_it_s going to be an adventure!

Before getting started, would you like to learn more about how to navigate the program?

Yes, please! Take me to a tutorial.

Itutorial

No, thanks! I'd like to get started.

Note for Canadian users: This version has been optimized for a United States audience. A version with more Canadian data will be available with the full-release version of the product.

Tutorial

In this tutorial, we_ll show how to interact with the program so that you can take advantage of all its features! Remember that this is just an early review test of the program. Much of Developing Lives is currently under construction_and we_d love your feedback and we finish the program in coming months. Expect to see more events, more choices and more interactivity. Also, if you_re viewing this module from Canada: Remember that this early Beta is very United States-centric. We are working on the Canadian variation and it will be coming soon!

Developing Lives has five modules: Prenatal, Infants and Toddlers, Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Adolescence. The modules consist of a series of events. In most of these events, you will be presented with a scenario, offered relevant information (available by clicking on the _Explain_ or _Learn More_ buttons), and then asked to make a decision about how to raise your child. Occasionally, these events will be opportunities for more in-depth learning, and you will also have a chance to read an article or watch a video and then answer some questions to earn tokens for use in the virtual store. (The store is currently under construction.) With each event, there will be further opportunities for learning and sometimes even to save some precious memories of your baby in the online Memory Book.

Now, let_s explore all the ways to use this program! Here_s a quick rundown through all the on-screen opportunities you_ll be seeing once you enter a module.

Home: In the non-Beta version, this screen serves as a central point through which you can update your profile information, subscription settings and preferences. (You_ll be able to switch your preferences from metric to _Standard_ measurements here, for example.)

Memory Book: A personalized space where you can save items from various events throughout the game. From your first sonogram to high school graduation photos, in the non-Beta version of this program you will be able to print out this gorgeous memory book when you_ve finished this program as a memento of your experience! Your instructor may also want to use the Memory book to trigger various essay or short answer assignments inspired by your use of Developing Lives.

Store: An online store where you can spend your tokens and buy fun and developmentally-focused goodies for your child.

Help: A global access point available throughout the game.

Glossary: A handy reference tool for all the key words and concepts

Data: Review your child_s vitals, such as height and weight, and compare them to national averages.

Look Inside: Offers updates on what_s happening biologically in your child_s body as s/he grows up.

Explain: Find out more about the topic of the event you are currently in.

Learn More: Access to additional articles and videos that will give you even more great information on development throughout the lifespan.

Before you begin raising your child you will need to create your own profile and avatar, choose a mate, and find out what sort of career you will start out in.

I'm ready to get started.

Am I Going to be a Good Parent?

While using this program, you may wonder if you are making the correct decisions for your child. Don_t worry_it_s just a simulation! You may hit some bumps in the virtual road, but that_s all part of the experience. As you journey through each life stage, you_ll find that in here, as well as in the real world, there are many _right_ ways to raise a child. If you ever have questions or need some guidance, there_s always helpful information right at your fingertips.

Plus… it_s not always about you! In this simulation, you will see that many factors influence an individual_s development. Parents are an important influence, but they are not the only one. The individual_s genetic make-up, peers, educational experiences, technology, and society at large all contribute to the path of development. This experience should demonstrate that development is complex, influenced by many factors, constantly changing, and unique to the individual.

In order to customize the developmental journey of your child, we need information about your personality, cognitive abilities, and demographic characteristics. In this world, you can choose to be anyone you want and answers don_t have to reflect exactly who you are in real life. However, we recommend that you make consistent and realistic choices so that your experience is authentic and meaningful. After all, just like in real life, your imaginary child will exhibit some similarities to you in personality and cognitive ability. Remember, since your child will inherit only half of your genes, you will most likely notice personality characteristics and cognitive abilities in your child that are different from your own.

Getting to know you

We want to hear all about who you are so that we can build your virtual identity. Later on, we_ll also give you the option to tell us about your partner (or genetic donor). Or, you can choose to select a partner (or genetic donor) from several pre-programmed profiles.

What do you look like?

Why are we asking this? This is really just for fun. We_re building an avatar that will follow you throughout this program. And your future imaginary baby will be created from a combination of your chosen characteristics plus those of your partner. You don_t have to answer this honestly, although that may be fun! You can have any look that you want. Just remember, however, that you will have to live with this avatar throughout the semester.

Your personality and cognitive traits are important in terms of your own thinking, feelings, and behaviors as an individual. They are also something you pass to your offspring through genes and your interactions with your child. Please respond to the following statements using the provided scale to determine how much each statement reflects you.

Be sure to move the slider. If you want to keep the initial slider setting, you will need to move the slider off that point and move it back.

Your Better Half

Now that we_ve gotten to know a little bit about you, we need to learn more about your partner and/or the donor who will be contributing his/her biological characteristics to your child.

You will also have the option to be single, cohabiting or an opposite or same-sex relationship. If you are in a same-sex relationship and your partner won_t be the biological parent to your child, you will have the opportunity to choose a profile from a sperm bank, an egg from a donor or if you have a partner that is no longer a part of your life but is the father of the child in the program.

Remember, this is all just for fun. You can choose the characteristics of your real-life partner or make someone up or choose an identity from one of our pre-programmed profiles.
