Why it helps
Turns swipes into aimed reaches — the bridge to grabbing.
How to do it
- Dangle a bright toy just within arm's reach during back play
- Wiggle it until the eyes lock on
- Wait for the reach — don't rush to hand it over; the effort is the exercise
Stop at frustration point — success should come at least sometimes; move the toy closer.
