Computerized dolls give hands on training for student parents MT. PLEASANT Five newborns have arrived at North Sanpete High School.' They are computerized dolls that will be used in Luella Halls Child Development Class. The computers are preprogrammed to make the dolls cry, have favorite holding positions and monitor specific movements with the babies, including when the doll was picked up, how long it was allowed to cry before it was picked up and if it was dropped or treated roughly. Students will wear a wrist band with an attached probe that must be used when die baby cries. Sometimes the baby will stop within seconds after the probe has been inserted, other times the baby could cry up to four hours. Students never know when their infant will begin to cry or for how long. It could be during school or in the middle of the night. The wristbands can only be removed by cutting them off so students may not leave their babies with anyone else because that person will not have the probe. Besides the care of the infants, students will be required to keep records and a baby book on their doll. Even though the dolls might add a bit of distraction to their classes, teachers at the school are supportive of the program. Some class members hold jobs so they will have to work with their employers on having the baby come with them to work. One student wants the experience of twins, so she will be allowed to take two of the dolls for a weekend. Hall said that this experience is designed to give students a realization of the amount of time it takes to take care of a baby. She said that hopefully it will discourage students from having children while they are still high school age. The soon-to-b- e parents are donations of blankets, for looking strollers, car seats, clothes, diaper bags and any other baby equipment that would help to make the experience more realistic. Donations may be taken to the high school.
