Gentle stimulation can be applied in various ways, including:
- Tactile Stimulation: Softly massaging the child's skin using gentle strokes can enhance their sense of touch and body awareness. - Auditory Stimulation: Softly speaking, singing lullabies, or playing calm music can help with auditory processing and language skills. - Visual Stimulation: Exposing the child to contrasting colors, lights, and simple patterns can aid in visual development. - Olfactory Stimulation: Introducing mild scents like lavender can have a calming effect and stimulate the sense of smell. - Movement-Based Stimulation: Rocking, swaying, or gently bouncing the child can promote balance and coordination.
