Baby Think It Over!
Currently at work (my work with young people - Yes, the same one that recently handed me my redundancy!) I'm helping run a program aimed at cutting the number of teenage pregnancies.
We're doing this by taking young girls (and one young boy, clever lad!) through all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth and parenting. It's a really useful program that doesn't seek to glamourise pregnancy. We'll be giving the kids a computerised baby simulator toward the end of the program.
It's quite a big baby (I'm guessing about 6 months?) and it has a small computer inside. It cries, and has demands from being fed and burped to changed. There are a number of tools to help with the simulation of the experience.
They've given me one of the dolls to get used to how it works before we give it to the young people
I think I need new batteries for mine though, so will need to get those tomorrow.
More info here as the week continues.
Wish Me Luck!
