What are the dolls used in some schools to educate students on parenting.?

I think that is just some of their classmates babies they're using because they are allowed to teach the kids about parenting but not about birth control.

general education courses, and if your school has classes like parenting and family sciences, pretty much anything that can teach you to deal with little kids... Good Luck

I would get her some cds of a band she likes and then make something like a family tree to make her feel important- my parents did that for me when I was 12 and since I have made one for my children for when they turn 12- also, electronics are ruling the scences today. Dolls, .....

My 4 year old does!!! The group of the dolls were at the dollar store so I bought them, she loves playing with them. I even taught her to sing "If you wanna be me my friend....friendship never ends!!!"

Why not take advantage of the fact that they are young enough to reprogram them out of the typical "one size fits all cookie cutter" approach to learning? Have you looked into other methods along the home-schooling spectrum? I would pick up a few good books about home schooling elementary aged children and start getting creative instead of relying solely (if at all) on a packaged curriculum.

If you want to connect with other home school families I have found the library is a great place to start. Talk to the librarians. Most of the time they will know of the home school families. They may have a contact name and/or number. If you are concerned about social skills get them involved in activities and church. \nIf you are looking for curriculum do a search and start researching what would be best for you children. Also try EBay to help with the budget.

breathe in and out and buy a worry book, or worry dolls, and write down/tell your worries to the dolls\nwith the dolls, there is one worry per doll, they are very useful. south american superstitions say that when you tell a doll a worry, and put it beneath your pillow, the worry dissapears.

If you teach your child to mind, you can teach him or her any lesson.\n\nYou could picture a child at a desk with the teacher standing above him with a hickory stick!\n\ns

Definitely females, you can see that by preschool. The girls are playing with dolls, and nurturing them, while the boys are playing with trucks and jumping off furniture.

lol my friend and I were talking about that one day. She said that if a girl wants to have sex she needs to use a dildo. They would help with the teen pregnancy and with all the std's . I said yea but that would be really weird to teach in school. my answer will be no im sorry that would be strange to teach in school.

They teach children to use thier imagination. They can build whatever they want. There are no instruction booklets, just whatever comes to mind.

They will learn their morals, values and how to do things the way the teachers are & do in daycare.  They will turn into children you don't even know b/c they are being raised by someone else.

It depends on the day care and the preschool. At some daycare centers, basically all they do is play with toys, eat snacks, and then go play on the playground. There isn't much emotional or educational stimulation. Other daycares (and preschools) teach songs with words and actions like "this is my right hand, this is my left hand" ... well you know those kind of songs for sure! They also might read more books, have smaller teacher-student ratios, and actually give kids time and attention. Those are the middle of the road, average preschool/daycares, and there really isn't much of a difference. A good preschool will have a curriculum set up. If you are going to pay the extra bit for the "preschool" name, this is probably the kind you want. These schools have days and weeks with themes like "the letter A" and "seasons". Days will be themed around these things, and it give more of an educational focus.

I think that many of the 'family' theme activities would fit well into this theme.  Here are a few circle time activities:\n\nHave available several paperdolls.  I usually make these and laminate them so that after circle time they can be placed in the manipulative center to further the activity.  I make 3 of each doll--dad, mom, sister, brother, baby, grandma, grandpa, dogs and cats.  I start the circle time by telling them about an activity that I did with my own family over the weekend.  Then I show them the dolls and build my family with my dolls.  I show them how there is a dad, mom, 4 children, and 2 dogs in my home.  Then I pass the dolls to the first child and ask them to build their family with the dolls.  I give each child a turn to build their family.\n\nAnother activity that would do great with this theme is to discuss different types of homes.  You can do a felt board activity with this one.   Make a houses 2 stories, 1 story, an apartment building, moble home, etc.  You can also make garages, trees, flowers, ect.      Let them children take turns showing what they live him.  \n\n\nthis would be a great time to intergrate straight lines and curved lines for math and art.  Encourage the children to use yarn to construct a picture of their home.  \n\nOr you could intergrate geometric shapes.  Make available cirles, squares, triangles, and diamonds made out of construction paper or foam pcs.  Encourage the children to make houses using the shapes.\n\nThis would be a good time to invite the local fire department and learn about home fire safety and then ask the parents to help them make a fire escape plan for their home.\n\n\nYou could make a class neighborhood!  Have each parent send a photo of their child with their family standing outside of their home.  Then have the class construct a collage of the photos and then make a bulletin titled "Our Friendly Neighborhood!"\n\nAlong with the above activity you can do a dictation document witht the children.  Ask each child "What is your favorite thing about your home?"  And then dictate exactly what the child says and hang them on your bullentin board.\n\nfor centers:\n\ndramatic play center make sure to have the usual things available for them to role play about home.\n\nBlock area have cars, streets, people, etc.\n\nScience area:  This one is simple.  You'll want sand and water for this center!    With plenty of objects to help them build houses.\n\n\nThere are alot of activities that you can come up with for this theme.  Just be creative.

Whichever toys make them think and create and don't let them just veg aroun, i.e. tv.  Depending in the age of the kid you can give them jigsaw puzzles, wooden blocks, legos, erector sets, reading books, clay, play-doh, coloring books, craft sets, chess (great!), tangram, origami books and paper, the leap frog games are very good, and I am even a little biased toward some  computer games because it gives them practice with their eye-hand skills.

There are: textbooks, manipulatives, classroom/personal charts and graphs, instructional videos and recordings, educational software, educational toys and electronics, etc.
