Baby Think It Over:
Baby Think It Over is an effective, research-based, parenting education experience. The heart of the program is a parenting simulation with a realistic computerized infant simulator known as a RealCare baby. These simulators are each a $350 investment.
- Minimal fee for cost upkeep per student
- RealCare baby needs to be fed, burped, changed and rocked as would a real infant
- A computerized monitor in each reports how well the student cares for the baby over the weekend
- It can tell how many times the baby is fed, burped, rocked and changed
- It can tell if the baby is neglected, handled roughly or shaken
