We never did the egg or the baby, but I could see the baby your daughter had as truly being helpful! Poor thing @ the bags under her eyes! Now that’s REALITY for ya. Love it!

Very true. I think my daughter learned more about being thinking outside of herself than she did about taking care of a baby. She was so worried about losing points because the baby wouldn’t respond to her that she called the teacher. I told her in real life, there will be times when her baby won’t respond to her (that goes for toddlers and teens too), she just has to make sure the baby is clean and well fed… She was a “good mom” but she said she doesn’t want to do that again for a long time.

At my school, we didn’t have any students who had children. In fact, it wasn’t until my own kids started school that I encountered students who had children.

The egg didn’t prepare me for motherhood, obviously, but being responsible for something other than myself was an experience.

It does. And the head is weighted so it kinda flops back if you don’t support it.

The course that my daughter took is actually a child development course that is used for students who are planning to major in Elementary Ed or Child Development when they go to college. But my daughter did walk away from the experience pretty sure that she never wanted to have kids. Ever. LOL

The course that my daughter took is actually a child development course that is used for students who are planning to major in Elementary Ed or Child Development when they go to college. So it depends on whether or not guys enrolled in the course or not, but they were given the choice between taking the baby or writing a research paper.

Does the baby & carrier weigh as much as the real things do? They’re heavy & awkward to carry!

We never had eggs in my school and there were kids who already had children. I doubt the egg would compare to what that were already experiencing in real like.

If they did have the eggs it would probably be a good idea to add it to the sex Ed discussion after the birth control talk.

I’m thinking unless that dolly is there in the moment crying/screaming/pooping, it’s not a deterrent to teen S-E-X.
