At least 20 studies published between 1997 and 2006 have observed positive changes in teen≠s attitudes toward early parenthood when curricula includes infant simulators.  By providing the most realistic experience possible short of actual infant care, participants not only gain valuable parenting skills, they also learn the true impact of early parenthood on their social lives, academic lives and future goals.The Effectiveness of Infant Simulators in Teen Sexuality & Parenting Programs≈
