Child Development Project....?

Question

I am doing this Child Devlopment thing with some other people, because people keep talking about teens having babies and how hard it is so we came up with the idea to doing a child devlopment project, where each partaker of the project has to take around a 'baby' and for about 5 weeks maybe more we have to take care of it, (what fun to do with all the homework for the eighth grade, extracurricals , and my brothers always bugging me). Has anyone ever done something like this? Was it hard? And how do you do that, do homework, and mangage to go to school with out an attitude from the 'baby' waking you up all the time?

I know it supposed to be a hard project, I am just wondering should I take part in this because it was a project the was given as a challenge I dont have to do it if I dont want to. Liek why should I or should not do it?

Answer 1

And that is EXACTLY the reason they're making you do the project. Because that is what life is like with a baby, only it's a real, live human being that needs your loving care every minute of the day.

A friend of mine had a baby her sophomore year. She's usually asleep when she's at school, because she has to work, take care of her daughter, and her parents make her do ALL the housework in her house. I'll be surprised if she graduates this spring. (The baby's 18 months old now.)

Good luck with your project.

Answer 2

well i am a sophmore and i am taking child dev. right now but i haven't taken home a "baby" yet.....but this project is supposed to be hard so you think before having sex because if your not careful you are going to have much bigger problems then that fake baby....that baby is nothing compared to a real baby TRUST ME! the best thing i could tell you to do is get wat work you can done and try not to get fustrated because that makes it twice as hard.
