Virtual Babies
Virtual Babies are electronic infant simulators, designed to replicate the demands of a real baby.
Used within an educational framework, virtual Babies provide a memorable and practical hands on opportunity for young people to experience the realities of parenthood.
Many young people, especially young girls, see the pretty side of parenthood - dressing up babies and pushing them around in a lovely pram and think this is what parenting is all about. But the hard side of parenting - the night feeds, fussy and unhappy babies, not enough sleep and feeling very tired and frustrated - is something that all parents go through and needs to be experienced too.
Virtual Babies do just that - they give young people an opportunity to experience the demanding aspects of parenting - so that they can make informed choices about their own future and when is the right time to become parents.
We never set young people up to fail. We want students who experience a virtual Baby to recognise they will make a good parent, just not yet. A successful time with a virtual Baby can raise self-esteem and self confidence and is a great way to make your lessons come to life.
