their children? How can you become an effective<br />
parent? When is the right time to become a parent?<br />
How do children think, grow, and learn? How does<br />
the female body change during pregnancy? Learn the<br />
answers to these and other relevant questions through<br />
classroom activities, videos, child observations, guest<br />
speakers, and “hands on” experiences with children.<br />
Responsibilities of parenting will be experienced<br />
through the “Baby, Think It Over” program. This<br />
program along with the infant simulator (computerized<br />
infant) requires the student to be the sole caregiver for<br />
four days during the semester (2 in-school and 2 outof-school<br />
