Title overview

The Dynamic Child provides students with the unique opportunity to influence the development of a virtual child, learn developmental science, and experience the wonder of a child growing before their eyes. Fully digital and highly engaging, The Dynamic Child affords students a hands-on way to virtually experience child development as they learn. In this resource, Frank Manis, author and creator of MyVirtualChild, combines his best-selling simulation technology for child development courses with a compelling, original narrative. By enabling students to make virtual parenting decisions as they read about and engage with developmental systems theories and interactive media, The Dynamic Child makes contemporary child development research and theory both comprehensible and deeply meaningful to students.
