Return back to your seminar The baby senses rough handling prior/after the simulation time.

During Simulation Remember that the baby will cry and the sensor will not respond due to fussiness If you feel the need to contact me because you think the baby is not working, there is nothing I can do. I will tell you to: Check that the status light is still on in the back Place the baby on its stomach for a few moments to see if it starts to cry Document any issue you think might be occurring The baby will shut down from abuse or neglect I will not respond to your emails/texts

During Simulation DO NOT stress out!!!!!!!!!!! You are allotted 100 minutes of crying time before it starts to affect your grade. Parenting is stressful, if you are losing control walk away and take a break. I do not expect you to get a 100% on this! It’s a tough job! And you will miss a few points.
