Hands-on Tummy Time
Parent lies on their back with baby on their chest for supported tummy time, encouraging baby to grasp fingers and stretch arms. The agent coaches the parent to observe hand opening/closing responses and arm/leg extension during tummy positioning — building early motor coordination, muscle strength, and parent-child interaction.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent lying on back on a soft, stable surface. Baby placed face-down on parent's chest, head turned to side for breathing. Room should be warm and calm. No materials needed — just comfortable positioning.
