Upright Head Turning Play
Parent holds baby upright with head support and uses bright toys to encourage head turning in both directions. The agent coaches the parent to observe head control, neck strength, and visual tracking while providing gentle support — building foundational neck muscles and head stability.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent holding baby upright with secure head and neck support. Two bright, colorful toys within reach — one for each side. Baby should be alert and calm. Room should be well-lit but not overly bright.
