Safe Strolling
Parent guides baby through a walking exploration of different surfaces and lighting conditions, coaching them to notice and respond to environmental cues. The agent helps the parent observe how baby navigates uneven terrain, adjusts to low light, and seeks reassurance during new walking challenges — building early safety awareness and confidence.
Free to do together whenever you like.
