Outfit Story
Parent tells a simple story about an item of clothing while dressing baby, creating a language-rich routine that builds security through predictable, loving interactions. The agent coaches the parent to observe baby's attention to language, emotional responses to familiar routines, and early narrative understanding.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby in a calm, alert state during dressing routine — lying on back on changing mat or sitting supported. Choose one special clothing item with a story (gift, hand-me-down, favorite outfit). No other materials needed.
