Self-Awareness Stimulation
Parent sits with baby in front of a mirror, pointing at reflections and encouraging vocalizations. The agent guides the parent to observe whether baby reacts to their own reflection, responds to their name, and varies their tone when babbling -- building self-recognition and early social-emotional awareness.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent seated with baby in lap facing a large mirror. Room should be well-lit so reflections are clear.
