Grade 10 Family Studies

Ms. Stachan's Family Studies students have an opportunity to engage with a real life simulation baby which replicates the care necessary for a newborn. In response to baby's cry students feed, burp, diaper change, and rock baby over a 24 hour period.

Student comments:

"Having a baby with you all day is hard work. Though he was tough to handle I really enjoyed the assignment" - Megan F.

"While taking care of the baby, I really got to learn how big a responsibility it is to take care of a baby, I felt very stressed and tired especially at night."

"At this time in my life I would not react well to giving up my social life to care for a baby" - Erica T.

"Even though caring for this baby was hard I had so much fun and I'm glad this project is included in the Family Studies course." - Caitie S.
