Shaken and stirred
Article Abstract:
Pupils from schools in Walsall, UK, participated in a scheme involving a baby simulator. They had to care for the baby simulator for a week, day and night. When the baby cries it is pacified by use of a special key. Any maltreatment or neglect of the baby is measured by computer. Those involved in the project have to keep a diary of their feelings. The results show that young people involved in the programme change their attitude towards parenting.
