Sibling rivalry / Child jealousy	Role playing with Amamanta to manage expectations & change	Your child becomes your ally. He understands more his new role &  you can instill pride in your child to “help” parents in the task of being caretakers of newborn
Explaining where babies come from	Amamanta families are toys that kids understand. Playing with anatomically correct dolls offers a good opportunity for parent and child interaction. Educate your son or daughter on the human reproductive cycle, sexuality, social skills, “good and bad” touching, etc.	Child has a better chance of understanding the facts of life, and what’s appropriate and socially accepted. Parents and educators  can confidently address questions from children with the aid of these anatomical dolls.
Elder sibling feels left aside and jealous or tries to compete for mother’s attention	Playing with dolls promotes healthy human interactivity and provides a sounding board for parents to hear the emotional needs of the child. It’s a playful way for children to express their feelings. Parents can anticipate concerns and have the opportunity to address them early on.	Older brother or sister is an active family participant who helps parents in the upbringing of the newborn. Children are no longer threatened by a new sibling and can actually help family unity.  Children  become more cooperative and have a better understanding of their family role. Kids can share some of the responsibilities with parents and feel more comfortable displaying love and affection.
Explaining the difference between boys and girls	Amamanta dolls are anatomically correct allowing parents to explain sexual differences in their terms	Amamanta anatomical dolls represent a true and  honest depiction of the child's family.

Why playing with anatomically-correct dolls?

Well, why not? Maybe we should ask ourselves why most dolls have just about everything 'right' except the genitals. Shame?... Guilt?... Taboo?... Protection... of what? The first thing a child does when he/she receives a doll is to undress it to see if is al'right... And guess what... most are not OK, the nose, the two eyes... but not the genitalia. I wonder how many kids would think if the dolls are OK --and they are not! Amamanta dolls depict the true beauty of our holy manifestation in matter. Our human bodies. Amamanta anatomically correct dolls are soft and cuddly and they are big enough for a 3-10 year old kid to feel it. They are machine washable (the bodies, we recommend clothes to be washed by hand). They come in families, so that all the role-play possibilities are there.
Parent dolls are approximately 16" tall, brother and sister dolls are 11' and newborn doll is 4.5" tall. A set of 5-member family weights approximately 2lb./900g.
