Project description
After some lessons on relevant topics such as physiology, pregnancy, motherhood, child development and a workshop for parents, students take home, over a weekend, a computerised doll, the shape and size of a real baby. The doll behaves and reacts like a real baby – has to be fed, changed and held in a proper way. It cannot be switched off at night or left unattended. A computer device inside the doll records all the events over the weekend and the report can be read on Monday at school. The programme is intended for older teenagers. In our school students of 15-16 years of age participate in the project. They have to sign a contract obliging them to take care of the baby, fill in a booklet while taking care and they get a certificate of participation. Parents have to sign a permission note, allowing their son or daughter to take part in the programme.
The project was sponsored in Poland by the Ministry of Education. Our school joined the project and we were given four dolls – two girls and two boys. The dolls come with an instruction manual, a “Carer’s Book” and a set of devices like clothes, a carry-me bag, feeding bottle, nappies. The approximate cost of a doll is 813 euro and they are produced by REALITY WORKS - USA.

Meeting with parents
Parents have to be presented with the objectives of the programme, the documentation their children will have to fill in, they must have a chance to look at the baby simulators and get acquainted with them. The teacher should make a list of students eager to participate and parents should write permission notes. The notes should also contain some statements in regards to the necessity of taking care of the baby and its needs 24 hours a day, getting up at night, possible deprivation of sleep for the student and the family, using the electronic devices the right way, etc. Prior to the meeting a letter, informing parents about main aims of the project and inviting them to the meeting, should be given to students. Students are also given a chart of child development stages to be discussed with parents at home. Parents should be encouraged to discuss their experience with their children at home.

Preparing students
Some lessons on relevant topics – parenthood, child development, partnership - should also be given during e.g. biology class. Students have to be given instructions on how to take care of babies using baby simulators in the classroom.
They must be presented with various baby activities and ways of proper reaction to its needs e.g.:

Feeding – 60 sec. for reaction – giving the bottle – result: contented babbling
Belching - 60 sec. for reaction – hold up and pat the back – belching
Nappy change – change the nappy - contented babbling
Rocking - 60 sec. for reaction – hold up and rock gently - contented babbling
Content – no action necessary - contented babbling
Waking up - no action necessary – sounds of waking up
Sleeping - 60 sec. for reaction – check position on the back or on the belly – sounds of breathing or crying if the position is not right
Cough - no action necessary
Unhappy - 60 sec. for reaction – check for reason (may be various) – result: stops crying
Supporting the head - 60 sec. for reaction –support the head, rock gently until the baby stops crying - result: stops crying
Bad treatment - 60 sec. for reaction – rock until the baby stops crying - result: stops crying

There are also films explaining how the simulators work and how to take care of them. For further details contact the manufacturer.

Students are also given a quiz asking questions such as:

Name 4 activities that you have to do while taking care of the baby, that are identified by the carer with the use of the transmitter on the back of the baby. ( answer: feeding, rocking, belching, nappy change)
Name 3 sounds that doesn’t have to be identified by the carer. ( answer: babbling, whining, coughing)

(answer: 2 minutes, 2 minutes)
Name 2 things that can happen if your baby is badly held, mistreated or the head is not supported the right way. (answer: the baby cries loudly; the electronic system registers these mistakes)
Name 3 things that can permanently stain your baby’s skin. (answer: newspapers and magazines; cloth dye; ballpoints, pens, felt pens)
What sound will your baby give if you react properly to its needs? Belching (belching) Nappy (babbling) Feeding (babbling) Rocking (babbling) – students can give their answers by choosing it from a list

Students should also sign a contract in a form of a promise e.g.

I promise to
… take full responsibility for my baby.
… take care of my baby as if it was a real, living baby.
… take my baby and its equipment everywhere.
… not leave my baby alone or under the care of a strange person.
… never neglect or mistreat my baby – I will take care of it gently and patiently.
… not manipulate with the id sensor, electronic systems or the hand band.
… keep up to date notes in “Carer’s book” and write down my own reflections during taking care my baby.
… take care of my baby during the whole weekend and return it with all accessories.

In the end of the school year (or on any other suitable occasion) students should get a certificate of participation.
