Diaper Change Chatter
Parent narrates the diaper changing process using exaggerated, high-pitched 'parentese' speech to engage baby's attention and stimulate early language development. The agent coaches the parent to observe baby's vocal responses, eye contact, and social engagement during this routine caregiving moment.
Free to do together whenever you like.
