Day Care Pause:
Now you can pause the simulation so students can bring their babies to the day care center
at school and continue the simulation at the end of the day. Use the babysitting feature to interrupt the program during the day. After school, simply reactivate the program and return the manikin to the student to continue the simulation. The program will resume where the simulation left off in the morning. This provides a more realistic way of simulating without interrupting other classes. After all, in the real world, teen parents are not allowed to carry their children with them throughout the school or work day. Teen parents must find proper day care, just as all other working parents. This feature not only makes it easier to conduct the simulations during normal weekday, but also is a great way to introduce the subject of day care!
