Sweet Ride
Parent engages baby in a gentle, rhythmic stroller ride while narrating the experience, observing baby's social engagement, visual tracking, and comfort with movement. The agent coaches the parent to notice eye contact, calmness during motion, and early social reciprocity during this shared activity.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby securely fastened in stroller or carrier, facing parent if possible. Choose a smooth, safe path for gentle movement. Best done when baby is alert but not fussy. No other materials needed.
