Gentle roughhousing
Playful physical engagement — gentle tosses, tummy tickles, side-to-side swoops. The agent coaches the parent to read baby's cues for 'more' and 'pause,' treating roughhousing as a dialogue of trust rather than stimulation for its own sake. Observations track baby's joy signals and the parent's attunement to pause cues.
