[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 25960, member: 1697"] Janna, my sympathies to your son and your family. YES! My dtrs reminded me more about our experiences with the blasted doll from hades. Actually while oldest difficult child did well with the blasted doll, it triggered off a major destabilization due to lack of sleep and stress and anxiety. Her psychiatrist wrote a nasty letter to our school. Useless, a year later here came easy child home with another doll from hades. Something came to my mind concerning the doll. In reality the d oll project is so short term, how COULD it teach anything? The kids KNOW it is a doll, not a living being. and the sleep deprivation is short lived. Quite different than when you have a real live baby of your own......where sleep deprivation goes on and on and on. Teens who deliver babies and continue in school get maternity leave from school, sometimes homebound for a short while and very often they do get help from maybe parents, county etc. They can have someone else do some of the "care" unlike with the doll and the blasted key stuck on your childs wrist. I tried in the nite to help my child "succeed" with this "parenting" thing assignment, I crept into her room, thought I would take my childs wrist and shove that darned key into the babys back and see if I could help so she could get a little sleep. ALAS< LOL, oh my, my kid was sleeping on her wrist, and I could not budge her and could not awaken her ----had it been a REAL child, this gramma might have been able to provide help for my own child with her "child" SImilar to the dolls project being done in middle school, in elementary school here our kids have to take care of an egg for a week or so, treat an egg as a baby, carry it around, prevent it from breaking etc, yes a RAW egg.
