What is the Baby Think it Over parenting project?
It is a unique class project exploring the emotional, social, and financial consequences of parenthood. The project involves an infant simulator (Baby) that will cry randomly day and night. Over a 24 hour period the Baby will cry from five to fifteen times. Each time the Babycries, the student must insert a care key into the baby's computer (located in the baby's back) to simulate tending (feeding, changing diapers, etc.). The tending time may vary, but will total about two hours each 24 hour period.
An internal computer keeps track of any lack of care or abuse.
Parent Permission
As the parent of guardian of a student who has volunteered to participate in the
Baby Think It Over Program, I have read and understand the following:
The Baby Think It Over baby is designed to help you understand what it’s like to be the primary caregiver of a real baby. Obviously, it can’t do everything a real baby can do. Probably the biggest differences are that the baby does not wet or soil diapers and does not laugh, smile or coo at you. The only form of feedback she can give you is her crying. You will be given a magnetic or plastic probe for “feeding” or “tending” the baby when he/she cries. The probe will be strapped to your wrist with a tamperproof armband to make sure that you are the only one who can feed the baby. This means you must keep the baby with you at all times.
Why Your Baby Cries
Real babies cry for many reasons. They may be hungry, wet, sick, or just want attention. The Baby Think It Over will cry for only four reasons:
1. The baby does not like the position
2. The baby needs feeding or tending,
3. The baby wants to go to sleep, or
4. The baby has been handled too roughly.
These reasons for crying, and how you should respond to them are described below.
Positioning
The baby wants to be on her back or side, lying down, at all times. There are two reasons for this. First infants can not sit up, and second, doctors don’t recommend putting infants on their stomachs to sleep. So do not sit your baby up, and do not put her on her stomach. If you do, she will cry. If someone else puts her in the wrong position, correct it quickly. Try experimenting with the baby to see what positions she does and does not like. Do not let her cry more than a few seconds at a time.
Note: Never lay the baby down on newsprint, magazines, or new colored clothing. The dyes in all of these can rub off on the baby’s skin and be very difficult to remove.
Tending
At random intervals, the baby will cry because she needs care. With a real baby, this care could be feeding, diaper changing, or bathing. You will simulate all of those activities with the magnetic probe that is strapped to your armband. You will not actually be doing any of those things, but you must spend about the same amount of time that those activities would take.
You will not know ahead of time when the baby will need tending, but you can tell she does when she suddenly starts crying even though she is correctly positioned. The crying is the signal to you to pick the baby up, hold in a normal feeding position, and insert the probe in the small hole at the lower right-hand corner of the electronics box. Push the probe in all the way up to the clear plastic tubing.
During the tending you should simulate feeding the baby with the a bottle. Also, diapers may be changed. When you give this care make a note of it on the care diary.
As long as you hold the probe in place, the baby will not cry. The feeding or care period can last as little as 5 minutes, as much as 35 minutes, or anywhere in between. The signal that the baby is finished is when he/she starts to cry again. Take out the probe and the baby will stop crying in a few seconds.
Rough Handling
Babies need gentle treatment, and your baby is no exception. If the Baby is handled too roughly, it will cry. Here are a few possible causes of rough handling:
Food, Clothing, and Diapers
You will be given supplies that would be necessary for a real baby,such as diapers, bottles, and a carrier to transport the baby. Since these items would be necessary with a real baby, you must take them with you everywhere you go. The baby should be strapped in to a seat belt like a real baby.

An internal computer keeps track of any lack of care or abuse.
- It records any abuse, which includes rough handling, dropping or hitting. After one of those episodes the baby will cry for a period of time and cannot be stopped.
- It records the number of minutes the Baby was not tended after it began to cry.
- It shuts down if the computer is removed from the Baby for more than five minutes.
- The Baby it records the number of times the head was not properly supported.
- Students wear a care key on a nonremovable bracelet. No on else can care for the baby.
- When the Baby is returned, the computer is opened (it has a lock) and the care or lack of care will be available see.
Parent Permission
As the parent of guardian of a student who has volunteered to participate in the
Baby Think It Over Program, I have read and understand the following:
- The Baby Think It Over will require my son or daughter to be the sole caretaker of Baby Think It Over, a computerized infant simulator whose crying replicates that of an infant. The experience is intended to demonstrate to my son or daughter the full-time commitment required for parenting an infant.
- The Baby cries at random intervals throughout the day and night. When it cries, it will be the responsibility of my son or daughter to attend to the Baby's need.
- The baby's crying and need for care may cause my child to lose sleep and possibly disturb other family members.
- I agree to be responsible for any damage that occurs while my son or daughter has the Baby.

As a product of teen pregnancy and having been a late teen mum myself I believe it came down to a bit carelessness.... And a lucky shot?
It is pretty easy to presume the worst when we think of young ladies getting pregnant before 20 years old.
I think that access alone is not enough. I think that teaching self worth and self respect and self advocacy need to go hand in hand with sex education for teens.
Of course I made lots of careless mistakes that could have set me on a completely different path. Lucky for me I made a careless choice with the right person and that was all the lesson I needed.
