- Get Your Own
Sim babies need a lot of nurturing and attention if they are to develop well. Gamers will need to teach a baby how to walk and potty sure but also and more importantly for us here how to speak. The child will also play a lot and demand stories. Remember a baby = the beginning of your book in sims 2 (depending on which story you are telling)
Here young Google with his mom. What can one see in the background? yes. His dad, a recruit, snoozing...exhausted.
All good stuff for a teacher/learner of French. So practise your French with the baby/toddler and teach him/her something new, or reinforce something so they acquire a new skill. (ego-boosting and useful for the student-teacher)


not unlike the parrot training eh?
For play, well play with the child and why not invent a new toy for him/her. Must specify rules and regulations. Draw the new toy. Pedagogical tool. 
this clown is way too spooky...
The child demands stories? Read him one! I mean really read him one...What is it about? What is happening? (first introduction to children's lit) Build a library and take that child to the library...
Really its the story of La Belle et la Bete...
Babies become toddlers that become children and teenagers etc and they need schooling from day one. Here is the beauty of sims 2 education..
And of course do not forget the expansion pack, sims 2 academie. They do go to college, some of them. I shall save simacademy for later ;)
From infant gargle to computer research to the seductive monologue in the mirror, and wondering about intelligence in signs...there will be many many baby steps....
